Fastest Man on Two Hands - Zion Clark (Ep.17)

Off Air with Kristi Capel

What an inspiring episode today! Zion Clark is an All-American wrestler, MMA fighter, Guinness World Record holder, author, and globally recognized motivational speaker. He is also the subject of an Emmy Award-winning Netflix documentary.

Born with Caudal Regression Syndrome, a rare condition that left him without legs, Zion Clark stands just over three feet tall and weighs 110 pounds, yet he competes against able-bodied athletes in both wrestling and MMA.

Zion’s story has been featured in major media outlets, including Forbes, Men’s Health, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, NBC, ABC, Fox, and ESPN. He was also a contestant on America's Got Talent!

Born in Columbus, OH, and placed for adoption at birth, Zion faced significant adversity, growing up in the foster care system and enduring constant relocations and hardship. Despite being labeled a "problem child," Zion found solace in wrestling and music, using both as outlets for self-expression and personal growth.

Recruited by several colleges, he attended Kent State University, where he wrestled at the varsity level for two years. Zion’s journey is a testament to perseverance and resilience. His story is a powerful reminder that while life’s challenges are inevitable, success comes from adapting to your circumstances and taking control of your destiny.

Zion will be in Cleveland! You can watch him live at Rumble On The Lake on October 5th! Proceeds will help more kids stay off the streets and hit the mats.
