The Show
Sometimes you meet people who Radiate with the power of the Human Spirit, and force you to re examine what you're capable of doing - James Hazel is such a person.
James is an above the knee amputee who lost his Leg in an almost unbelievable motorcycle accident the details of which are too crazy to list here (but are of course all in this episode).
After an event that could break many people, James just dusted himself off and after being talent spotted by a coach, ended up playing Wheelchair Rugby, eventually for The England Team. But then as is so often the case... James found BJJ! While preparing for the postponed Rugby World Cup he saw 2 guys rolling at his Spit and Sawdust local gym and asked to 'have a go...'
That was just 2 years ago, and since then he has competed many times, never having been submitted in competition and is currently preparing for an MMA cage fight - normal rules!!
James Hazel is a unique human and he really blew my mind with his story and his infectious energy. I know you're going to love this one!
