If someone gave me a Pepsi I would give it back. Or I would carry it in my right hand and throw it away at the first sign of trouble.

Food for thought!! We who need the big stick to assist walking are much easier to knock down!!

All macho expectations aside, it might pay to learn to fignt from the ground! I also find that I am no longer able to "bounce" back to my feet. (might need the help of a fork lift!) ;D ;D

What say you???

Are you saying you're hefty, Lefty?

Practicing ground fighting is an excellent idea.

Was way hefty for several years! (much better now!!)

What's the saying? " If I'd a know'd I could live this long I might of taken better care!" :P ;D ;D

 When the mind is still willing it is vital that you pay attention to what your body can still do!! Then you must adapt to and train to the new "rules".

As to the original post, I am lucky (????) to need the cane on the right side, and carry/shoot lefty. Cool huh?? ??? ???

As a former LEO/TRAINER  I have decided to check out training options for the "less mobile of us".

Sooo What's Out There?? ??? ;D ;D

I think you guys have started a very benificial discussion.  Training courses for those who are physically "challenged" may already be utilized by the different training facilities, but if not, they definitely should be.  I'm sure there are a good number of individuals that would benifit from this type of training.  Maybe MB, can check it out and possibly make the suggestion if this type of training is not already available.

Practice shooting from the ground too..... especially not tipical ground positions. It is very different the first several times you do it, and it is much better to get that first time experience at a range then in a fight.

+1 on the ground shooting practice.

Also, Brazilian Style JiuJitsu is a good ground combat technique if you have good mid to upper body strength. Choke holds and immobilizing joint locks are key.
There are several training schools who will customize training for people with disabilities.

These are just examples:

A little more than a year ago I asked Front Site if they offered training for people with disabilities. They said that they could and would train a person even in a wheel chair. No details of what kind of a program.

Maybe others can/would provide such training. So who would be up for offering this kind of a program?? ??? ???

What would such a program include?? ???
