This Taekwondo Master is a two-time U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductee - and a Deaflympian!
KATY, Texas --
"With me, not having hearing is a big obstacle," said Master Joseph Santarose of Rock Solid Martial Arts. "I just want to encourage other students that, hey, you might have these big obstacles in life, but you can keep going no matter what." "Hearing is very important in martial arts, I believe it is, because one of the things they teach you is to be aware of your surroundings," said Santarose. "When you're 90% deaf, being aware of your surroundings is kind of hard. So it really helped me learn how to adapt to my surroundings, with my hearing loss."
"I don't want to take all the credit for it. These guys do come in, they put in the work, they put in the hours, and they do what they're supposed to do," said Santarose. "My job is just to help push them, to give them that edge, hey, we're going to go further. If they want to quit, no we're not quitting. They want to give up, no, we're not giving up."
