Tatsuya_Kawajiri (Wheres)(Waldo) Tatsuya_Kawajiri (Wheres)(Waldo) Tatsuya_Kawajiri Mr. Cynical You gotta wonder, how good is his sprawl with just one? I wouldn't want to find out, like... I seriously just wouldn't want him to ******** touch me with that stub. It'd be like from Scary Movie. You're creeped out about a stub, but you'd go in a doggy position in tights with another male? lol Umm, yeah, because a stump is a ******** genetic mutation, which makes the whole person unclean. And I wouldn't go in doggy position, but I do have a good turtle guard. I'm sure you'd get a good kick in the jaw before you attempted a turtle guard. I wouldn't pull turtle guard in anything but a Jiu Jitsu match. and I doubt you're good enough of a grappler to cause me to resort to turtle guard. The thing is I'm not a grappler, so yes. You probably would toss me around a bit in a Jiu Jitsu match. But I'm talking streets, I don't think you'd resort to grappling at ANY point.

Mr. Cynical (Wheres)(Waldo) Mr. Cynical (Wheres)(Waldo) Mr. Cynical You gotta wonder, how good is his sprawl with just one? How about you let him punch you in the gut. wink See how long you stand up. I could take a body shot. You'd think he'd be worried though since having one arm doesn't give him much of a guard. Alright, would you be talking with the same confidence if someone with 2 arms wanted to punch you in the gut? Yeah. Maybe a little less but only because they wield 2 arms. I wouldn't be in boxing if I weren't confident to take a few hits. I thought you were a grappler as Tat is. I'm guessing you condition for boxing?

My right leg was completely shattered, and my joints in my right leg are now mechanical.
I am also partially blind from birth.
I've faced my challenges, the joint replacement surgery was an experimental surgery, and in both cases it was most likely that I would never walk again.
But due to a little help, motivation, and determination, I can walk and do martial arts quite well, I simply have a limp, and my right leg is heavier and harder to move with.
The eyesight I'm used to, I rely on my hearing skills more than I should anymore, but I get along fine.
Being in the martial arts with the disability doesn't mean you're worse than anyone else who's normal, it simply means you've had a few more challenges, and probably had to work a little harder than the average student. I know the feeling. I was normal once, and now I'm a cripple who walks with a limp and a blind cane, to lean on and to find where things are.
s**t happens.

You probably have had a harder time adjusting than I have.

I was born with a club foot, every night when I take off my boots (I'm restricted to heavy full-binding boots for life) I actually have to re-adjust my bones veins and cartiladge in my right foot. I think I may killed alot of nerves down there, certian well-hidden and sensitive nerves are on the outside of my foot, and I have the oddest balance I've ever seen.
to (Wheres)(Waldo), I'm no grappler, but I am a controller and breaker, and never trust that with proper training that any style cant bite you on the a** at any time.

Jae Sung Yo! As the title suggests, I was wondering if anyone is handicapped and in martial arts. I myself am missing my right arm from right below the elbow on down. Ooh, I had someone in my group with that disability a while back. I found myself continiously awestruck and in admiration of that person. I'm not sure I could have trained as well as he did with that disability! and he was in the upper half of that group as well. I used to pair up with him a lot since we were close in height. Shifu used to yell at the rest of us and pointing at him saying something like: "He's missing half an arm, and he STILL trains better than you lot. FOCUS or you'll get hurt! ... Yu, you are the intermediate group's trainer today, I need to stay here and watch out for accidents." (Yu is me.. and I never figured out if that meant if I trained even more poorly than the rest did at that moment, or if he was pleased with my progress...) Lesse.. I'm not sure if this counts as disabilities: I almost crushed one of my neck vertebras, so now I am in constant pain and have a very stiff neck.. which makes especially 鲤鱼打挺 (liyu dating = um.. "carp skip-up"?) difficult. I've also partially dislocated another one in the small of my back, which means that I cannot twist quickly enough for some exercises if I haven't just gone to the doctor to fix it temporarily. I am also born with slightly disfigured fingers (they hurt a lot, but are fairly straight) which makes grappling and some of the floor techniques difficult. EDIT: BTW, sorry if my English is a bit weird... as you probably can tell, it's not my mother tongue.

Tatsuya_Kawajiri On a serious note, I wouldn't want to spar/fight you, I mean, stubs are just ******** gross, and if you touched me with it you can be assured I'd hit you in the face with a brick. If a person was born with it, there's nothing he or she can do about it. If that person in question is studying martial arts, he or she will have to use the stub in order to train correctly. If you have such big problems with seeing stubs or maimed people in general, change group or just avoid walking close to them?

hard times are hard times. things happen, and those of us who manage to perservere through those hard times and disabilities to do what we love, to me just shows our moral fiber and character, as well as determination.

As I've said in another thread, it really all depends on the martial artists. Wow, i've never heard of something like this. And you'd think I would after going to Shriners for about 15 years. Do you run a higher risk of injury?

Do you run a higher risk of injury? Slightly, if were practicing any technique that invovles destroying the leg or ankle, and the other person doesnt know... I once had a low-level teacher who I had never trained with before nearly dislocate my deformed ankle because he just didnt know about it. He actually said sorry... in my art, thats the differance low level and high level, the regular teacher wouldve said "... Good, it worked"

I kicked one of my Mom's ribs when I was in the womb, and it dislodged a bone in my foot. They operated on me immediatly after my birth, (or else I may have never walked) I'm afraid that if I ever break my foot, I'll lose it. That is a club foot, just to say, ******** ENGLAND... theyve been aborting perfectly healthy babies due to having a club foot.
