As the first wheelchair karate practitioner in New Zealand, martial arts have been an empowering force in John Marrable’s life. The sixth-dan black belt in Goju-Ryu karate first visited Okinawa, the home of karate, to train in 1981. This year’s Okinawa Traditional Karate Ceremony marks his eighth time there.
