I
was
really
uncomfortable
at
the
city
location.
I
was
training
to
fight
at
a
reputable
gym
in
Mexico
this
time
last
year
and
unfortunately
suffered
an
accident
and
now
suffer
from
a
disability
in
my
hand.
With
a
lot
of
resilience
and
determination
I
returned
to
training
and
have
been
working
really
hard
to
adapt
to
my
new
abilities.
When
I
came
for
a
booked
trial,
initially
they
were
trying
to
send
me
away
as
they
wouldn’t
have
space
in
the
gym
for
me
to
do
the
sequences
on
the
bag,
I’m
not
really
sure
why
it
would
take
up
more
room
training
on
a
bag
than
with
a
partner,
my
distance
is
the
same
whatever
I’m
training
with.
.
I
was
persistent
with
them
and
they
eventually
let
me
train
but
then
while
I
was
in
the
class,
what
other
trainers
would
normally
do
is
help
me
adapt
the
sequences
to
my
abilities/bag
work
which
only
takes
a
moment
of
their
time
or
at
the
least
check
up
on
me
once
or
twice
in
the
class,
as
you
would
with
fully
abled
students.
The
trainer
didn’t
speak
to
me
the
whole
class,
when
I
reconfirmed
a
sequence
he
didn’t
even
really
bother
to
show
me
he
just
kind
of
very
briefly
told
me
and
moved
on
to
help
other
students.
It
takes
a
lot
of
courage
to
come
back
after
an
accident
and
start
from
zero
again
and
I
found
my
experience
disheartening
and
uncomfortable.
Anyway,
I
will
haven’t
found
an
MMA
gym
and
it’s
really
sad
to
be
missing
out
o
training,
I
was
training
twice
a
day,
doing
three
personal
sessions
a
week
in
my
old
gym
but
I
feel
hesitant
and
uncomfortable
in
the
mma
culture
here
in
australia
from
my
first
experience
and
hoping
this
isn’t
how
all
mma
gyms
work
here,
disappointing
from
a
country
that
has
many
reputable
fighters.
They
have
recently
responded
to
my
review,
I
have
legitimately
reported
it
and
ironically
requested
“an
apology”
for
the
discrimination
I
received.
I
have
it
all
in
writing
their
responses
including
when
the
person
I
was
discussing
the
issue
with
went
to
my
Facebook
page
and
started
screenshot
ring
things
from
my
Facebook
page
trying
to
humiliate
me
saying
I
was
“lying”
about
my
disability,
which
is
in
my
medical
records.
I
unfortunately
did
have
a
similar
situation
at
another
gym
and
was
“banned”
in
response
to
explaining
my
disability,
not
in
response
to
“my
behavior”
which
is
also
all
in
writing.
At
no
point
have
I
sort
financial
compensation,
I
am
genuinely
just
looking
for
a
good
gym
and
to
be
treated
with
respect,
I
have
trained
offshore
for
years.
I
have
reported
the
matters
to
the
appropriate
body
in
order
to
prevent
other
people
with.
Disability
trying
the
sport
being
subject
to
the
same
discrimination.
