Hey,
I don't disagree that anything is possible, but I'm curious to see what others may know. I have two questions:
1. Have any disabled martial artists -- particularly, the ones that can barely walk -- ever competed professzionally
2. Would I bde able to professionally with the way I usually compete? (I'll post some vids from 2008. It's what I have.)
Part 1:
YouTube - 2008 First Martial Arts Tournament (Part 1)
Part 2:
YouTube - 2008 First Martial Arts Tournament (Part 2)
That should give you an idea. I know doing pro competitions is different, and that's kinda why I'm asking. I've been to tournaments once every summer and they don't seem very...competitive? Fair? You name it. I like a challenge. But my sensei seems to be the only one who's NOT gonna take it easy on me, especially in sparring.
