Wheelchair doesn't stop this tae kwon do student

Here is a guy in a wheelchair, who got his black belt at a martial arts school started by a guy in a wheelchair.

Danny Hicks has a front-row position at the Auvenshine School of Tae Kwon Do in Auburn. His hard work over the past decade has made him one of the highest-ranking students in the school: a first-degree black belt.

And he got there in a manner few, if any, have: from the seat of a wheelchair.

The photo is by Armando L. Sanchez/The State Journal-Register.
