Bear Grylls, who is renowned for his reality show ‘Man vs. Wild,’ is an adventurer, traveler, and explorer. Adventure sports, such as mountaineering, sailing, and sky diving interested him ever since he was a child. He was trained in these sports by his father who was associated with the ‘Royal Yacht Squadron.’ He was keen to learn martial arts, and earned a black belt in Shotokan karate at an early age. He even became a cub scout when he was eight years old. Adventures are accompanied with risks and demand immense physical as well as mental strength. Not surprisingly, Bear has sustained many injuries, and has even injured his spine. Apart from recovering from his physical injuries, this courageous individual has overcome his psychological hindrances as well. His determination to climb the Mount Everest remained undeterred even after sustaining severe injuries. Determined to continue his adventurous pursuits even after facing many setbacks, Bear Grylls has been proving his skeptics wrong time and again. Ever since recovering from a major injury, he has been more zealous and has also established himself as a television presenter of reality shows where he embarks on adventures. He is also a survival instructor, writer, businessman, former ‘Special Air Service’ (SAS) serviceman, and honorary lieutenant-colonel.
