AN inspiring young MMA fighter has overcome all odds - after doctors predicted he may never be able to walk.

Noah Glazzard’s incredible martial arts story, driven by his unwavering determination, resilience and positive attitude have earned him a Young Champions award nomination.

Living with cerebral palsy, the 14-year-old has shown incredible commitment to improving himself both physically and mentally.

He trains regularly at Wombwell’s Submission MMA, where he has pushed through challenges that many would find too overwhelming.

Through sheer hard work and perseverance, the Thurnscoe teenager has achieved his red and white belts in kickboxing, a testament to his dedication and progress.

What makes Noah’s journey especially remarkable is the effort he puts in to improve in every single session.

Noah does not let his disability to define or limit him and he has come on leaps and bounds from his cerebral palsy diagnosis aged two.

In the last 12 years, Noah has defied medical experts’ expectations and continually strives to improve in his training and beyond.

Noah’s progress has not gone unnoticed in a number of ways.

The youngster’s physiotherapist has highlighted significant improvements in his mobility and flexibility, directly linked to his training.

Noah has served as an inspiration to his peers and coaches at Submission MMA and beyond - showing that with hard work and self-belief any barriers can be challenged and overcome.

Noah’s mum, Katie, said: “I’m so proud of Noah, we went from not thinking he would walk to him taking part in MMA.

“We never thought he would be able to get up from his wheelchair or be able to get out of his specialised boots.

“Noah was diagnosed at two years old and doctors told us that if he didn’t walk by age three, he would never walk.

“Noah has proved the doctors wrong and he is doing absolutely amazingly well.”
