Carrie Green

My name is Carrie Green, and I'm a 32-year-old totally blind woman from Canada. I am currently studying two martial arts. In May of this year I began studying Bujinkan Ninjutsu, and I've been studying Shotokan Karate, branch of Nishiyama  since May of 2003. I have obtained my gokyu in Shotokan this past June. I've also studied Aikido as well. I have been so fortunate that the instructors gave me the chance to join their dojos, and learn with them. I am currently the only blind Martial Artist I know about here in my province. I am from Regina, Saskatchewan
