Zion Clark's Biography

Zion Clark is an accomplished athlete, speaker, and world record holder who inspires and motivates audiences around the world. As a professional wrestler and mixed martial artist, Clark has overcome numerous challenges to achieve success in both sports, including being born with a rare birth defect that resulted in him being born without legs. He is also known for his powerful personal story and ability to connect with audiences through his speaking engagements.

In high school, Clark was a standout wrestler, and he went on to compete at the collegiate level for the University of Akron. He continued to excel in the sport, and in 2018, he became the first amputee wrestler to compete at the NCAA Division I level.

Zion Clark is a world record holder, having achieved three Guiness World Records. On October 13, 2022, in Los Angeles, California, he set the record for the most diamond push ups in three minutes with a total of 248. In the same location on the same day, he also set the record for the highest box jump using only his hands, reaching a height of 0.83 meters (32.67 inches). In Massillon, Ohio in February 2021, Clark set the record for the fastest 20 meter walk on his hands, completing the distance in 4.78 seconds. These impressive feats showcase Clark’s strength and determination, and demonstrate his ability to overcome challenges and achieve greatness.

After completing his college career, Clark turned his attention to mixed martial arts. He trained tirelessly and honed his skills, and in 2022, he made his professional debut against Eugene Murray. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

In addition to his athletic achievements, Clark is also known for his inspiring personal story and powerful speaking abilities. He has won two Emmy Awards for his documentary “Zion,” in which he shares his journey and encourages others to never give up on their dreams. He is a role model for people with disabilities and inspires others to overcome their fears and challenges in order to achieve their goals.

Clark is also involved in a number of charitable organizations, and he often uses his platform to raise awareness and support for causes that are important to him. 

Zion’s is symbolic of the tattoo across his back ‘NO EXCUSES’ which he displays through his efforts of living a life without limitations. Zion brings a lot of insight and value to an audience of how he has been able to overcome his own struggles and setbacks in life and still excel in everything he does.

In his speaking engagements, Clark encourages his audience to never give up on their dreams and to overcome the fears and challenges that may hold them back. He inspires others to live a life without limitations, just as he has done, and to make a positive impact on the world. Through his powerful story and message, Clark motivates and inspires people of all ages and backgrounds to pursue their passions and achieve their goals.
