Wow, now that would be a great resource to have available!
We have several physically challeneged students as well as mentally challenged. We have a few autistic children who are doing great, and we've had a blind student. This guy was amazing a feeling. In kung fu we do feeling drills to learn to feel the other persons energy and balance, he was awesome at it. We've also had a few students in wheelchairs. The techniques and forms had to be adapted to him, but thats what kung fu is all about anyway, changing to fit any situation. It is a challenge, but so is anything in life. My best friend has a physical issue with his ankle, he was born with his foot on backwards, thye had to break it and flip it around, so he has a nice limp and some tnedon issues so almost no flexability in that leg. He puts me to shame in his training! He is most inspiring. He is a personal trainer at a huge medical facility and gym, and he is now leaning MA. I tell him that its going to be a challenege, but what good would it be if it was easy?
