  • great video, that man has a lot of courage doing karate in a wheelchair, fairplay to him!

  • Thank you very much we could not show all what I can do in the time we had. I have been perfecting and mastering wheelchair self-defence for 11 years. I am fully approved wheelchair instructor I am also the Disability Martial Arts Executive Officer for Black Belt International.

  • It's about speed and strategy, I myself am in a wheelchair, and I'm also into martial arts. It's possible to take on an "able bodied" person, difficult but with enough training quite possible. though the "sword" demonstration was SERIOUSLY lacking in form and show of technique, that as well is possible but much more dangerous.

  • Why don't you go to our website and find out more. disability martial arts sassociation put 3 w's infront and co and uk at the end

  • I am in a wheelchair, and I am going to start Karate Shotokan in a wheelchair next week. I'm going to be one of the first person to do Karate in a wheelchair in the province of Quebec.

  • Hi Omaenomasutaa, Congratulations thats fantastic. All the best. Dave

  • Martial arts teaches: awareness of self and body, awareness of environment, flexability, breathing, how to respond without panicking, how to defend onesself, grip releases, awareness of strengths and weaknesses (not just your own) and many other useful things. Its NOT just openning up a can of whopass on everything that moves. In that way, I think studying martial arts can benefit almost everyone. Don't discount people based on perceived ability.

  • Terrible Terrible Terrible

  • im in a wheelchair and currently taking tae kwon do ...im just a white belt lol

  • 7 people got beat up by a guy in a wheelchair

  • @billysharp15

    yepp, but this jumping shit isnt karate

  • @fatAZNpiggy Karate is an Indian form of martial arts...

  • yeah that sounds like a pretty good idea, but jus recently i found a way to get back up off the ground (: it probly wont work with everyone but how i do it is i put my brakes on and use one hand to push me up off the ground and the other one to keep the backrest against my back and then lean forward.......but if the person tryna bash u kicks ur elbow wen ur tryna push urself up then ur totally stuffed, but hey at least its actually possible to get urself up without any help at all.

  • grab his neck as you go down and bear hug him. OOOOR, as you lean back - face punch him

  • i see this dood has really good martial arts skills in his wheelchair, but all that other guy has to do is come up behind him and tip him back and he's screwed. any ideas wot u do then?

  • Bravo!

    I saw a guy in a wheelchair defend himself in a pub once and he handled a couple of thugs very expertly, mind you he was once a judo champion!

    This guy in the video demonstrates that having such a disability does not mean you can't also defend yourself so well done to him.

    Osu!

  • white eople doing asain sports just lame i hate white people who think they are so much better then us azns
