Some Thoughts on Self-defense with a Disability (Rambling) VIDEO
One of my subscribers asked about this, and I found it interesting to discuss. My experience is limited, as I practiced unarmed martial arts (Keysi Fighting Method, a street self-defense system) for only a relatively short time and have otherwise focused on historical sword fighting. And while I'm dealing with some chronic injuries I'm not disabled, so I can only try to imagine how one might deal with certain challenges.
There are some fundamentals in mindset and strategies that apply across different disciplines though, so I figured it may be worthwhile to start a conversation about the topic.
