If you believe you can or you can't do something, then you're right. You know, and what I tell to my students and anybody, whatever it is you want to achieve, all you got to do is believe and take one step at a time.
What would you do if you lost your eyesight but still had mountains to climb? In this gripping episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with the indomitable Shihan Mike Armstrong. Mike's life is a whirlwind of extraordinary achievements: he’s a world-class mountaineer, a professional drummer, and an 8th-degree black belt in martial arts—all while being completely blind. At 26, Mike faced a hereditary disease that took his sight.
Instead of giving up, he dug deep into his martial arts training and continued to teach and practice, even when doctors advised him to stop. Mike’s story doesn’t end there. He also scaled Mount Kilimanjaro with the help of sighted guides, showing that his spirit is as unyielding as the mountains he climbs. This episode isn’t just about overcoming blindness; it’s about breaking barriers and redefining what’s possible.
Whether you’re struggling with your own challenges or supporting someone who is, Mike’s journey offers a beacon of hope and a testament to human resilience. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you questioning your own limits and ready to chase your own vase.
