Evan's Dream

[4226sniper]

Evan, if you ever read this, thank you. I too was born with cerebral palsy, i recently began taking karate for the same reason, to strengthen and stretch my leg, luckily, i only have it in my right leg. The next time i think my sensei pushes me too hard, ill watch this, matter of fact, he's who showed me this. You inspire me, keep pushing, you're not alone.

[mandomi3]

Hi Evan, Just to let you know you are great, please never give up, people like you are awesome, some people think this is impossible, but you are real and you make all this happen, martial arts are great and you are the best god bless you

[birds16ful]

I'm teen girl with Hemiplegia CP. Your video is wonderful. I do most things with my right side of my body. When people don't understand I can't do something as well as them I get upset. I been doing ballet classes for almost 13 years now. I take ballet classes with girls without disabilities. I love my ballet best friends.

[theirishasian598]

Tae Kwon Do is not about physical ability, or strength of the body, but rather the strength of the mind and spirit. The physical is used a way for us to gauge our progress and determine rank...to press on as you do given your limitations, you have the strength of a master. Keep pushing forward and great things will follow

[redwingsgurl]

YOU MY DEAR ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL PEOPLE, MY SON JUST MADE HIS BLACK BELT IN TAE KWON DO HE IS ALMOST 12, YOU HAVE A GREAT MASTER TO BACK YOU UP, NEVER GIVE UP AND YOUR PARENTS HAVE TO BE SO VERY PROUD OF YOU SWEETIE, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS YOU CAN DO IT...

[Meganmose]

I had mild case of childhood arthritis, I kindof know it is hard at times, but you are doing good. Stretching may hurt but it is worth it, I am proud you of you. I had 2 major feet surgerys and two minor ones. If you want to E-mail me it is on my profile on youtube.

Great job Evan! Congratulations. It will only get better for you from here. When you have CP, having wonderful caring people like your family and your instructors makes all the difference.

[annied111]

Breathtaking...on the part of the student and the Master.

[salos005]

Great job, you should be proud. Your Master showed this movie to 160 masters from around the United states and the world, a couple of weeks ago at a master instuctor seminar. Your story is why many people are involved in martial arts you are WALKING indomitable spirit and the spirit of Taekwondo. Good luck and I hope to see more and a black belt movie one day!

[garethselfe]

Awesome and inspiring!!! Keep up the good work Evan.

[TheRealJeRm1]

Evan, you have been working so hard and it shows! TKD is also my passion and I hope you stay with it! TKD helps many people in so many different ways for the mind, body and spirit. And it's fun! You carry a message of hope that you can share with others. I know training can be tough, and when it does get tough just "ki-hop" louder! Keep on working hard and never give up! When you do get tired, ask God for the extra strength and it will be delivered. I'm am very happy for you my young TKD friend!

[bellabertelli]

WOW!!! I am honored to watch your video. You are truely an inspiration to us all. Words can not describe the feeling in heart for you and your journey. You have a fantastic Sensei too. I can see you guys share a special bond. In a world filled with such powerful negatives lately, I am glad to see something positive as equally as powerful.

[GeorgeJugo]

Evans, you are the man!

I picture myself running into you years from now in some big TKD tournament. Keep it up.

[knb416]

I don't know if you will read this Evan, but I have something to say to you. You may have a yellow belt around your waist, but you have the heart of a black belt. If I ever think that my Sensei is pushing me too hard, I will watch your video to remind myself that you train harder than most people ever will.

[evansdream11]

Thank You! My Sensei really pushes me too and makes me train as hard as I can so that I can walk someday! I would love to become a Black Belt Instructor and teach kids. That would be awesome!

Sincerely, Evan

[jwhans]

Way to go Evan. Sally and I are very proud of you.

[williamg2008]

Awesome job. I hope for the best for you.

[hptorre]

You are a great inspiration! This is the kind of spirit and determination in people that make them champions. Keep it up champ!

[94jamiew]

This is amazing. I'm sitting here with tears running down my face. What an inspiration.

I'm proud to say I was also a student at one of JK Lee's schools. The work they do is incredible. They care about their students, and after seeing this, it is clearly evident.

I stopped at red belt, due to personal reasons, but will be back!!

[shamshamela92]

Good for you, Evan! You are a wonderful role model. We look forward to seeing your progress past 1001 steps!

[gaijin2002]

Wow Evan! Perseverence indeed !

Best wishes for your future hard work, and glad you found an extended family at the JK Lee acadamy.

You're an inspiration for all.

[shelammoore]

I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes!!!!! God heals! May God continue to bless this TKD school and Evan! Thank you GM Lee for doing God's work. We are a TKD family and this is such a testimony. An awesome testimony of courage, determination & the will of the human spirit! It's an awesome testimony of people coming together not for their goals, but for someone elses. May God continue to bless you! I can't thank you enough for sharing this will all of us! Evan, keep on steppin'.

[kickinfamily]

Wow, words can't describe it. This is just so awesome!

[JOLLYROGE007]

In The Name of Jesus Christ Be Healed!

I am thrilled at the progress this boy has made in his life and applaud those dedicated to his success. I am even more thrilled with the choice of the song played with the video giving God the glory for his progress. He told us to lay hands on the sick and they will be healed. Karate is certainly a different kind of laying on of hands, but if done in the name of the Lord, it will work.

Grandmaster, Master Lee and Evan - What an inspiring story of love, joy, perseverence, & commitment! Evan, I look forward to the day you walk independently, as you've dreamed, & the day you & I dance together with Jesus -- you on legs that will never again fail you. Like Dr. Hoggatt, I immediately was reminded of Ephesians 2:6 when I saw the video. You are indeed God's masterpiece. Thank you for your courage & for sharing it with people like me. You CAN do it, Evan! I'm praying for you.

[jobana1234]

Wow Evan! Wow Grandmaster Lee! You have come such a long way. Keep up the good work. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:6 You are already a masterpiece of God! You have a courageous spirit and a beautiful smile. I can't wait to see you walk on your own, like your dream! Pilsung!!
