Just like the others

Rapid City -- Don Sitters was left paralyzed from the waist down at the age of 13, but despite the obstacles he has faced during his life he has always overcome them to achieve success.

He has been involved in martial arts for some 20 years and has won many awards and championships, but when he moved to Rapid City in 2004 it had been two years since he last practiced martial arts, and he was ready to pick it up once again.

Much to his excitement, he found out that Sanano Karate Club was just three minutes away from his home. Though he was a bit concerned that he might not be accepted due to his disability, he was overjoyed when he was welcomed and put through the paces just like any other student.
