Max Blum has been dealing with disability since he was young. Lacking a leg meant that he couldn’t play like the other kids, but he found ways to be active. At one of his lowest points, Blum found jiu-jitsu, and it opened his mind to new possibilities.
Jiu-jitsu changed his life. He realized that he could practice this sport just as well as able-bodied people. Although he had some limitations, he could adapt to overcome them. He became more competitive and confident. These spilled to his studies, allowing him to graduate with nearly straight A’s.
Now he spreads the message of hope to others so that they can believe in their own potential as well.
