Any sci/paraplegics out there practicing kendo? After being punted across a motorway I am looking for any help available in returning to kendo if at all possible.

I'm so sorry to hear of your injury. As I recall, Ron Fox has some experience teaching people (or at least, 1 person) in wheelchairs. He posts here as rfoxmich.

I remember seeing video of a gentleman named Henry Smalls doing kendo. Look him up. May not be very much training value to it, but VERY inspirational. Very sorry to hear about your injury. Good luck in returning to training.

Ian Penry does kendo in San Antonio from a wheelchair. Here is a pic, http://www.rivercityiaido.com/images...taikai%203.jpg We had Koei Budogu make up a special bogu set for him that included a tare designed for him to use in the wheelchair.

Sounds like a great idea to pursue kendo as a way to exercise and do rehab. You will probably have to "invent" stuff yourself, but others have done it and you should be able to find instructors who will be helpful to you in your efforts to figure it out for your specific situation.
