Giftet warriors

Mike Darcy is an imposing figure at 6-foot-4 and 275 pounds. He's a former petty officer second class in the U.S. Navy who considers himself a guarded man.

That's every day, except for Friday evenings between 5 and 7 o'clock.

For nearly a year, Darcy, 46, has taught karate to kids with special needs. Twenty-five kids are taking his classes. Some are diagnosed with autism and Down syndrome; once he even had a student in a wheelchair.
