Veteran who lost legs in Afghanistan inspiring others by learning jiu-jitsu

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Jiu-Jitsu practitioner Garrett Carnes is a “no excuses” kind of guy.

It is how he approached his career in the Marines and it’s how he continues to approach life even though he lost both his legs when he stepped on an IED during his second tour in Afghanistan in 2012.
