There is a man named Erik Kondo who is trying to make the world a safer place for people by teaching FREE ( I know shocking isn't it! ) self defense classes. I find it especially cool that he teaches people in wheelchairs how to defend themselves because I feel we are at a higher risk!
Erik is not Canadian unfortunately but that does not stop him from sharing his knowledge with those of us
across the border!
Erik has sent me these 3 booklets (not wheelchair based defense but genereal defense ) which I am sharing with you (with his permission ) If you would like to see some of his video clips on wheelchair self defence
please check him out on youtube :)
The NOT-ME! Strategy of Self-Defense
He also has a website which you can see here.
Please give the files a quick download and peruse them , better to know the moves than not know them and need them!
Erik also has told me he is putting a book together, I wish him all the best! He is looking for chair people to contribute to his book, stories of when they felt they were in danger and could have used some self defense. If you have a story such as this perhaps drop him an email. Erik is a very friendly and caring guy.
