Uganda's blind boxer

[RocheBrazil]

I grapple [kuk sool won (non-striking) , jiujitsu, wrestling] with my eyes closed. And this works quite well for me. I tend to focus more on the situation that I'm in. However, when I tried this approach to the striking arts [Western boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, kuk sool won katas/forms and sparring] I found it a bit more challenging. It isn't impossible and it will make you better but it's a different environment.

[tkddiuryl]

there's also a blind muay thai fighter in thailand. and they do the same thing to spar with him.

OOOHHH DAMN thanks jonell

[romanyunite]

this is really good and shows that even if you have a disability not to give up on your passions. i know i guy just like the one in this vid he is blind and loves boxing.

[danmartinez89]

does he have a record

[chiefhandsome2008]

Fucking ridiculous.....its one thing to live your dream but if ur blind you gotta look for something else to do instead of boxing

[Msbea345]

i guess the blind people who play piano should also give up on their dreams too because they can not see the keys. Is that what you are saying?

[chiefhandsome2008]

No cuz you can be very successful playing the piano just like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles.....but you cant box without your eyes. In reality if he fought competitively he would get Knocked out very easily

Like the newscaster said, he can't get any work because he's blind. Things are real messed up in Uganda for the average person, much less a man like him. They don't have nearly the same opportunities that US has. He literally has nothing else going for him but boxing. Besides, it's still good training for the other fighters. Advanced martial artists learn how to fight without the use of sight to sharpen the other four senses. If you want to help him find something better, feel free.
