New and improved

Nothing unusual about this martial arts training, except that Mr. Ritonia is paralyzed on his left side and working out of a wheelchair.

It is hard to reconcile the man in the wheelchair with the person he used to be: sheltered, shy and afraid to venture outdoors for fear of running into a bully.

That was the old Alonzo. Meet the new and improved Alonzo, dressed in the traditional do bok and training in the Monongahela martial arts studio. He was "reborn" when his aunt suggested martial arts lessons.
