Kentucky -- 55-year-old Gary Lee Jones has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. 11 years ago he took up taekwondo after he first began coming to classes as a spectator watching his brother, Quincy.
He repeatedly asked his mother to sign him up. However, given his physical condition, she never thought it possible and waited several years before asking his eventual instructor, Max Chang Lee.
Since then, Gary has worked his way through the process of mastering the martial art - step by step. And on December 8, 2007, the Radcliff resident received his taekwondo black belt, according to newsenterpriseonline.com
