Mark Ormrod is a former Royal Marine Commando who lost both legs and an arm during combat operations in Afghanistan. In this episode, he shares the brutal reality of recovery, identity loss, and how he rebuilt purpose after life-changing injuries.

We discuss Mark’s service in the Royal Marines Commandos, the injuries he sustained on operations, and the physical and mental battles that followed. He speaks openly about mental health, resilience, recovery, and how discovering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) helped him rebuild confidence, discipline, and a new way forward.

This is a powerful conversation about adaptability, mindset, and refusing to be defined by circumstance. Mark’s journey offers insight not only into military life and combat trauma, but also into how sport, discipline, and community can transform life after adversity.
