Abdel Ziamari narrowly survived a horrific crash. He would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. But partly due to his mindset, he fully recovered. During his hospital life years he had all the time to learn about his own brain. That enabled him to study and become a master of his thoughts.
He found life energy by discovering a new dream: to set up his own Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym. Abdel has now realized this dream. Abdel's formula for success? He mainly got his strong mindset through inspiration from the martial arts and his hospital years.
