Fadel Othman, a Syrian 24-year-old amputee kung-fu teacher, and his young students perform in an area near his martial arts school in the rebel-held town of Abzimu in the western countryside of Aleppo province on November 25, 2021. Othman was hit by an artillery shell in 2015, during fighting between rebels and government forces in Aleppo. As a result, the young man who started his kung-fu training at the age of 12, braced to forgo his life-long passion. But over the course of the three years he spent in Turkey for medical treatment, he continued classes with martial arts trainers and even participated in several tournaments.
