Rachel Excels at Karate

Another great story for you here. 30-year-old Rachel Fairbank from Layton, Utah was born with Down syndrome. She has been training karate for 13 years, never misses a class, and has now been promoted to 3. dan black belt.

"I didn't expect her to come this far, but she is very determined and she just loves it," her mother, Marsha said.

Rachel says her teacher, Master Johnny Aranda, has been her inspiration, not only in karate but in life.
