it is funny isn't it?

everyone seems to expect you to do worse, and it shocks them beyond all belief when we do just as well or better than those of equal rank.

yeh, i guess it is sort of a natural reaction. if someone isnt 'like' you or something then you may (key point is may, im not saying this about everyone) think they arent as good as you. i say go kick their a** to show them that you mean it!

i dont have any disabilities as such... after some breaks in my clavicle and the disk in my elbow, i cant roll my right arm as much as my left and i get some grief trying to pressups on my shoulder. also, i was born with bandy knees and a wonky pelvis so i cant quite bend as much as others (makes kicking harder). one good thing from my crapped up pelvis and knees is that i am the only one in our club that can put their knees to the ground with our feet touching. the instructor looked quite impress when i was there and others struggling.

im not in the best shape, im not in the worst... but i still respect anybody more than myself who can make it through life without giving a damn what anyone thinks of them or how they look, disability or other

i cant really imagine it from your point of view... but just leave them to it. you may have a messed up arm... but they have a d**k on their foreheads.

i just leave people who critisise me to their own devices. i used to have long hair and i am a guy... that went down fun at school, but i just left them to it. ive had it cut off recently for joining the air cadets and yeh, now that i am 'like everyone else' i get left alone

its a crappy world, but hey, not much any of us can do about it anymore

Are we still on the "I'm still a human being, but I want special treatment because I only have one arm" s**t? God, grow up.

How so? Oh wait, that's impossible, since you don't even have my name, my address, and oh yeah, you can't be sued over words exchanged over the internet unless they deal with fraud.

Retard.

*EDIT* Also, when have I performed any actions other than type? I haven't attacked one armed guy physically, have I?

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.


Amazingly, the non-english speakers tend to have better posts than native english spearks, simply because they have to put thought into their posts.

Also, Machineman9v1, do you have autism? It certainly seems like it, maybe that's why you get all hyper-sensitive, you bootlipped f*****t.

No. I never said i wanted special treatment, I just wanted to know who else in this guild had anything similar to a disability and how they cope with it in MA.

Really, its more of the people who say "he's handi-capable" s**t that made the thing sound like i wanted special treatment or crap like that.

machineman9v1, no offense but you really can't make a solid argument. Sue people? Impossible over the internet unless, like what cynical said, deals with fraud or something of the like. You should probably stop before you embarrass yourself.

Yeah, I know. We went through all this remember? It's the other guy I was talking about like he had your situation. At least you're able to laugh at the jabs we give you. (s**t, another arm pun xd )

I have a fake arm, properly known as a prosthesis. One time someone asked me to lend them and hand and i chucked my arm at them. It hit them square in the face. Although that probably really hurt, it was funny as hell.

hmm, so much you know. know about libel? it is where you write things that arent true to make someone else look bad or cause offense. i dont know your name, adress or anything. but if i asked Gaia that i needed to deal with a court case and i needed to know your details then they could give the police your IP adress, to get a warrent from your ISP to give me your details to get you into court. trust me, it aint hard for someone to find out where you live from posting on a forum.

enough of that. got any more problems... PM me. this thread isnt about making stupid remarks or trying to look cool (yeh, its only you 2 that think it is. rather sad i think)

@Jae Sung... i was going to ask if you had an artificial arm... do you have to use it when sparring or whatever? i bet it gets tricky to use sweatdrop

First off, no you couldn't. They'd tell you that it's not your problem, because it isn't. Second, the terms and regulations of privacy prevent them from giving out details of personal information unless it deals with the site directly and law enforcement is involved, which you aren't. So, trust me, even IF what you said had a shred of logic, I could do the exact same thing to you for calling us d**k heads, especially since you attacked us first rather then the other way around. You lose.

I am too. I have to hand it to you, that would be prettty funny! Do you have any other cool stories about that kind of thing?

On a serious note, I do admire anyone who has a disability and can still do MA. Often they are better than the rest of us because they need to work harder at it or do things differently.
