Sacha Bautista
Para-Karate
The young man has been enrolled in the Miramas Karate Club for 4 years, where the classes are adapted so that he can practice this sport in a wheelchair.
I discovered para-karate thanks to Virginie Ballario, who was crowned vice-champion of the world of para-karate. She told me to come and try it and I signed up right away! Karate gives me self-confidence, it helps me a lot in college to go to the board, or to competitions, for example. I also have a lot of strength in my arms and a really muscular back. I really didn't think I was capable of doing this, I've come a long way. You can't say you can't do it until you try it, you have to try! This is the message I would like to give to those who are afraid to start a business because of their disability.
