Just thinking of Ted Volrath, who was a disabled Isshinryu karate-ka.

 

Just thinking of Ted Volrath, who was a disabled Isshinryu karate-ka.

 



He even starred in a movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJyHfKNNaes

 



Maureen and I saw his demo at the show at the Iberl tournament in York in 1976.

 

As part of the demo he was attacked, took off from his wheelchair,

while grabbing the attackers obi and took him down to finish him.

 

He was injured performing that takedown and had to go to the hospital later.
