In Marburg, Germany, A 17 year old punched a blind man in the face when he refused to hand over a packet of cigarettes. The robber did not know that his victim used to be world-champion in Judo for the visually impaired. He fought back, took the punk down and held him until the police arrived.
Robbing a blind person is so fucking low. I hope the butthead got hurt.
This is pretty hilarious. I’ve done randori with a few visually impaired judoka and once they get their hands on you, forget about it, they might as well not be blind.
We have a guy who is blind that trains BJJ at one of our gyms. I saw him compete and he wore a mask around his face that was scary and the opponent had to start with hands touching him. He told me that he knew that the mask makes opponents nervous and he uses it to his advantage. He wasn’t to happy to find out that his next opponent had experience training with a blind man and wasn’t nervous at all.
I was embarrassed that he had better take-down skills then me because how do you shoot in on someone when you can’t see his legs? One time he did shoot in and there was nothing there, but he did good.
The second news item you got is correct. The translation is funny.
Blind doesn’t mean disabled in a fight. It is known when you lose one sense your others become heightened to compensate. Sight is often not used in grappling anyways.
Besides all the old kung fu masters blind-folded training had to be for some reason? sarcasm
Someone has been watching Bloodsport 
Pizdoff, Could you please do an avatar of a chicken putting another chicken in a chicken wing?
I taught a summer camp full of blind teenagers jiujitsu one year. One of my students was a nurse that worked for the DEPT of blind services and she noticed that I use to handicap myself while grappling junior students by grappling with my eyes closed.
She figured if I could do it with my eyes closed that her students could do it.
The hard part is that I could do it blind folded but I didint have to learn it blind folded…
Martial arts is typically taught in a demonstrative way, I demonstrate and explain, the student then imitates.
Can’t do that with a class full of blind students 
We had to teach them all by guiding their hands step by step, one on one.
It was difficult but it made me a better teacher.It got my school a nice write up in the newspaper as well, free press doesnt hurt.
