'Karate’s given me a whole new meaning to life. I realize I can do something. It’s a really empowering thing,' says Andrew Snell
But the Sault’s Andrew Snell and Mason Fremlin have overcome personal obstacles in reaching that level of expertise in martial arts.
“When I was in Grade 6, I was coming home from school on my bicycle. I started to go across the crosswalk with my bike. I was flung into the air and came down and hit my head on the road. I was taken to hospital and I was in a coma for two months,” Snell told SooToday. “Sensei Chris is a great teacher. He has transformed regular karate into one-handed karate for a guy in a wheelchair and I just think that’s wonderful,” Snell said.
