Can martial arts traditions help people with disabilities take on the world more confidently? Let's continue to explore this question, while we learn about martial arts mindsets and philosophies.
Chris James is the Lead Instructor of the self defence workshops ran periodically at Balance for Blind Adults in Toronto. He, along with Kathleen Wilson and Mags Storey, share how they approach teaching blind and low vision participants self-defence techniques.
We hear from Clement Chou, who introduces us to Aikido, a martial arts practice that he took on as a blind person, after some experimenting and exploring to find the right fit for him.
And Johnny Tai, founder of Night Strike Self-Defence in Richmond, BC, is back. He teaches us what he's learned about martial arts through his years of teaching, learning, and appreciating what these practices and traditions has to offer.
