As soon as I can figure out how to accomplish things wholely through the power of MY mind, I will have finally achieved my childhood goal.
Heh. Me too.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Kathy A, that's exciting news. I know several people who have been happy with their outcomes.
Seska, I know not of various martial arts and what would work best with what abilities and disses... but I do know that my Mixed Martial Arts school does an adaptive program with the local UCP. I can't find the video, but at one point a guy launches off his walker, drops to the mat and starts grappling, really whaling on his opponent... On a less flashy level, I had a classmate missing a lot of pectoral muscle from breast cancer surgery and our instructors would help her find alternate approaches for various exercises. The fact that there were big thick mats everywhere certainly made it safer for them to push their physical limits and get stronger.
Anyway, maybe you'd have better luck looking for local schools that do adaptive programs rather than a form that adapts.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
shrift, if you figure it out, please share the knowlege. I just had three people from the same company call asking for the same information ... and one called twice because she wrote the information in an e-mail message and then, rather than sending it, deleted it.

I was getting ready to go to bed, and found out that Claude Lévi-Strauss passed away. [link]
RIP, man. You're the main reason for post-structuralism, and for that alone...

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Now that sounds like fun.

I've been looking, but not getting anywhere. (You'd think a city the size of London would have adapted martial arts somewhere. Will keep looking.)

Oh, what a shame. (Although I see he was 100. Not at all bad.) He had some fab ideas.

Seska, maybe one of these guys can help hook you up even if they don't have an affiliate right in London: [link]
Looks like a guy named Terry Taylor was the big dog in UK martial arts for the disabled and he passed away. This tribute page has some links that might lead to something. [link]
I'm seeing a lot of Self Defense for the disabled. Maybe you could find a school via one of those workshops.

Hey, msbelle, did you tell Mac about Derartu Tulu?
