Schoolboy Jacob Meister suffers from cerebral palsy and autism, but that doesn't prevent him from harbouring a passion for wrestling.

In this clip he takes on another, older high school wrestler named John J. who volunteered to participate in a match with Jacob, or Jake.

They go head-to-head, with Jake beating John and bursts with joy as the crowd at the San Francisco school claps and cheers.

"Jake a member of my old high school's wrestling team suffers a physical disability and my boyfriend volunteered to have a wrestling match with him, making his dream come true," said the filmer, Brooke McGriff.

''My boyfriend said he felt joy for being able to put a smile on a kid's face. I was so proud of my boyfriend and that moment,'' she added.
