True Karate Champ

UK -- Karate champion, Owen Murray, has been celebrating after achieving one of the sport's highest awards - a sixth dan grading, sunderlandecho.com reports.

When Owen lost his arm in an industrial accident at the age of 20, he didn't want to feel vulnerable, so he took up the sport as a form of self-defense.

After winning gold medals at the European championships, helping Sunderland win the national championships and visiting Sierra Leone to help people in similar situations to learn karate, Owen has now chosen to teach people in his garage at home.
