Being blind & winning tournaments, Clinton Terry - BlindGrappler (FULL INTERVIEW) - THE FIVE8 TAKE

Clinton Terry is a blind Gold Medal Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion who is sponsored by Hyperfly NZ. When Clinton was 2 he lost his sight & went blind. His mother didn't treat him any differently from his brothers, he was forced to live & not be cuddled. He found wrestling at the age of 19. He lost his first 40 matches without scorring a point ‼️ many would have given up, possibly after the first match. Not a real man like Clinton. He went on to become NZ National champion, he then moved on to BJJ where he became world champion in Brazilian JiuJitsu‼️ Most recently he headlined a COMBAT Jiu-Jitsu event in Auckland 🇳🇿 (Jiu-Jitsu with striking) and won that event. Clinton has an incredible story which we break down in this episode.
