who the fuck would try to beat up a person in a wheelchair? it is interesting to imagine grappiling without help from ur legs

[NotMe1357]

@SneakyBadness These are the type of people that attack wheelchair users.

They are not MMA fighters or grapplers, just predators looking for victims.

Search "Wheelchair-bound Canadian tourist attacked in Sydney, Australia".

That will tell you who.

1: You can't attack an attacker til attacked,2 any offense that's being used defensively can be defended (read book of 10 rings by Miyamoto Musashi,one of the greatest warriors that ever lived

3 since it's very easy to get knocked out of a wheelchair it's best to try to develope techniques that prevent that from happening although not 100% full proof. 4 your colums of points are getting on my nerves 5...i'm done with these colum explainations myself....6....good bye :)

@hwaycasie30728 It's the Book of Five Rings, not 10.

[hwaycasie30728]

The fact of the matter is, people in wheelchairs are at a much lower center of gravity,an attacker has to come down to our level to attack us,and I say us and our because I was born with spina bifida and have been in the martial arts 26 years...these techniques may not be full proof, no technique is, but they are definately tools that can be used.

@hwaycasie30728 The point of the video is to give people with disabilities an example of some basics concepts. The concepts are:

1. Attacking the attaacker

2. Controlling his head

3. Executing a finish

Specific techniques are only examples of concepts, nothing more nothing less.

In addition, the video shows that it is very easy to get knocked out of a wheelchair.

I'm physically disabled. Though not exactly a wheelchair user, I had to physically fend off attacks before. A walking stick though used for balance/walking proved an effective self defence weapon.

Thanks for posting this video. It gives those with physical limitations an idea on what to do if they are in the unfortunate situation of being attacked.

Im a para also, I was shot int the back I just carry a gun now adays.

[ReddingBujinkan]

All I can say is Thank you for this!



[Mrrbishop]

this is a good video, but i noticed that you had a few techniques that involved inducing pain on the attacker untill he tapped out, you should think about, what if the guy is on PCP, hes not gonna feel any pain. and incorporate that in to your next techniques. no criticism, just a suggestion. great video.

@hwaycasie30728 fool proof,the phrase full proof doesnt exist

[nosvaructu]

I would never attack a person in a wheel chair unless he is a immediate threat, aka with a gun because that is messed up to do so for one. Two, I don't want to look dumb if he pwns me with the techniques in the video. Quick question though on the viability of finishing someone with a guilloutine choke without the add of your legs. You can't control the person or gain the leverage needed to lock it in tight.

@NotMe1357 Isn't the book of 10 rings the new and improved version with twice as much samurai goodness? I mean if five is good, then 10 is awesome sauce.

[EvergreenScience]

This is human excellence! You've just reminded me why I first started training in the Martial Science. Well done; keep on exploring.

[josh4380]

i would suspect that unless your someone kind of handicapped spy, who constantly lives on the edge, your never going to be ready to defend against an attacker... but then again it always helps to know...
