Something that everyone needs to remember is that you may not be able to plant your feet for stability and you will never have the same leverage when in a moving wheel chair.

Yet I've learned that can be to your advantage. Being in a wheelchair they have to get close to attack you. That's when you have the advantage. He says that. Most people that are going to attack you swing wide not used to close fighting. Even if they have a weapon if you practice practice. The moves will be natural. You won't think you will react. Over thinking can get you killed. Don't believe me hit me up. I'll show you my scars from a knife attack. They cut my hands but with technic an alot of practice. It was automatic to protect my vital organs and that's what saved my life.

Some poor guy drew the short straw LOL. I am in a wheelchair & realising these days I may need to learn to defend myself. I am looking for a class that will teach me as soon as possible.

I have MS...beautiful...thank you. Stay strong!

*I'm a new subscriber and I have MS. I spend about 95% of the time in a power chair but when I'm out I do use a wheelchair. My better half sent me the link to this video. He's a martial artist. We have both spoken in depth about ways I can protect myself. For one, I'm never alone but some fool may try us because we're women, you know? I have learned and taught my daughter never to sleep on anyone and never to take your eyes off of your opponent(Bruce Lee). I want to thank you personally for displaying how one with a disability/hindrance can defend themselves. I'd rather put my hands on someone than to shoot them. I think one should have a certain mindset and discipline to have a gun and I don't have neither one...LOL!!*

Self defence from a wheelchair is not the same as self defence from a seated position.

Respect my brother. As a man in a wheelchair an have practiced the martial arts since I was a kid before I lost my leg. We need more masters like you. You really care. Not about money only safety for your fellow human being. That is hard to find. Thank you.

Whilst I appreciate your skills, self defence for wheelchair users ought to be taught using a wheelchair, as not being able to touch or pivot strong legs on the floor (as many w/chr users have no leg function, and as a result can tip, very easily over or out of the w/chr) Look forward to any comments.

Thank you for your tips. I have leukodystrophy and am chair confined. I've wanted self defense moves before I may have to resort to my concealed carry.

Great video. I really like the first sequence of moves. The second sequence of moves with the pressure were not so clear. Is their a video that would get a deeper explanation?

You seem to have not taken into account the high probability that a person in a wheelchair won't be able to keep his/her feet planted. The bit after you slapped your partner's ear and pushed him on the ground, then everything after that until 6:38 when I paused, seemed to be relying on your downward pressure. It is my opinion that a smarter thing to teach is "redirect their arm/s out of the way, slap or elbow them (ear or chin respectively), then roll away as fast as you can."

Good work master !!!! Kida

Nice to know. but only academically. You will never ever be able to press or strike any “pressure point”

Bonjour Alain Cohen, je trouve l'approche coherente et tout a fait realisable. Il est important de donner une chance a chacun de pouvoir etre en capacite de pouvoir se defendre .

Bonjour Roland, merci pour votre commentaire, oui effectivement le but est de coller a la réalité.

In California, we can get in trouble if we touch someone before they touch me. A man has been harassing me in my bldg where I live. Last week I was outside waiting for a taxi. He came up to me & started screaming at me. His face was 12 inches from my face. He was not wearing a face mask. I reached for my noise maker & he screamed if I used it on him, he would kill me. He said it twice. I called the police & they told me they could do nothing because he said "if you do that I will...." Do you still suggest I do what you recommend in our video? Do you have any less invasive movements I can use?

In Florida, if someone even touched the wheelchair, it's 10years in the penitentiary! Good luck!👻

Peace to Jerusalem. Shalon, Alan Cohen. Congratulations on this very interesting video. It shows good and new self-defense techniques. Showing the superiority of Krav Maga in relation to martial arts. Alan Cohen what you show us in a simple, easy, practical and objective way is the effectiveness to beat a stronger aggressor. That's what makes the Krav Maga so good. Any martial art with the exception of jiu jitsu is only effective up to the weight of the opponent. After that the effectiveness is gradually falling. With the Krav maga that you teach so well, Alan Cohen, the weak can fend off any antagonist without problem. May the Lord God continue and give health and peace. And you blessing more and more. Along with all those who help you in your beautiful work. Hug. Aquiles Silva.

Head butt, bite, dig your fingers in their arm (headlock) etc. A lot of the fancy stuff you see in videos, you don’t really need. I wrestle with my older brother who is a 6’ 6”, 180-200lbs marine (I’m a 5’ 6” 120lbs+ quadriplegic w/C.P.) and I find basic stuff like this can be just as effective if you can position right.

I too have one useless arm, even striking with the other no longer has the same power generated by the hips when in a wheel chair. My personal suggestion is to first and foremost learn techniques to free yourself when your wrist/arm/or hand is grabbed. After that you can work on chopping the persons throat or neck as well as fingers sticking the eyes.

You will never be able to apply enough pressure from a wheel chair. (Your chair is moving) You cannot stabilize your self with strong legs and feet as in this video. So keep watching others also. What no one seems to address is when someone grabs the handles of most wheel chairs. Mine have thumbtacks protruding from them. Anyone who is helping me know how to grasp the grip to avoid the tacks. I also hate trying to use the brakes by grabbing the small little handles near spinning wheels. I placed short lengths of PVC on the handles as brake lever extensions. See where I am going with this? When I yank them off the small metal chair brake levers I now have force multipliers in both hands. A little training and you can reach out and “touch” your attacker at the range before they are overwhelming you with their weight.

@@anasyabdallah6967 let me get this straight. So If I'm threatened by a gang of attackers, I should get out of my wheelchair, stand up and run away? That's your answer for the disabled? Just forget that you're disabled and run away? Well. Ok then. I'll keep that in mind......🙄
