[AMP-L] Local Amputee Excelling in Boxing and Jujitsu

[Wayne Renardson]

via The Journal Gazette:

Steven Strahm had hit rock bottom. The combination of stints in jail, 
losing most of his left leg to amputation and an ensuing opioid 
addiction to deal with that pain left the now 38-year-old broken, 
depressed and wondering if his life was even worth living.  

When trying to find any sort of purpose for a life that, to Strahm, 
had little meaning, he stumbled into Sud´n Impact Gym on Main Street 
and met owner David Hernandez.  

"I told him, `I feel really hopeless and alone, and I feel like I 
can´t do anything,´ and he said he´d try to teach me," Strahm said. 
"He taught me some kickboxing and some boxing. At first, I thought he 
was crazy, but he worked with me on boxing and so far, I´m undefeated 
in boxing."
