@wmpyr Im in a wheelchair and studied Ryukyu Kempo and tuitejitsu and the advantage is a lower center of gravity and the fact they have limited targets to attack.. there goal in many cases is get me out of the chair..so joint locks(arm & and finger breaks) are very useful. punching isnt as useful but hammer fist to the arms and legs of an attacker is. BJJ also useful if they do get me out of the chair
You are an excellent guy I am glad I found you on you tube. I think we have pretty much the same mind set and you are out here to help others. To consider people who are in wheelchairs is very thoughtful. Excellent point bringing your opponent down to the level of the victim. Excellent points from an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing with us Sensei. Thumbs up for sure. I am going to send a video response if you do not mind it is an old video with my top student in a hood .
@DTGtaihojutsu thanx Sensei Rick, sorry about the late response, I had to spend my time with my nephews that came over. Glad to have met you too! You've inspired me in many ways, and thank you for that too!
I can't imagine that someone would actually sit down to be on the same level of a person in a wheelchair, they will use the user's disadvantage to their own advantage & strike without mercy. But, I would like to add that most wheelchairs have armrests of some type which are removable which can be used as a weapon or to block attacks.
@speedbuggy I hope that a person wouldn't be so cruel to pound down against a person in a wheel chair or a person sitting down, but yeah in reality there are plenty of bad people! Good point about the arm rests!
I think the better way to describe martial arts is.
To take an advantage over your oponent.
This is take their balance, they sight, their focus, their mobility.
I've heard of 2 one armed men having black belts, classes for mentally disabled and a blind judo guy defending an attack. So yes a person in a person in a wheel chair who is seen as being in a dissadvantage can take a martial arts to take an advantage quite easily.
@wmpyr no, no, no, no. If that's how you assess yourself, then my skills are nano-micro. Seriously, and honestly, now that you have ventured to helping those whom others thought of as "defenseless", kindly consider also preparing a series of practical self-defense for children. Pleeeease. Thank you wmpyr.
