Thanks for your ideas! The guy in the wheelchair can uses his hand and legs. A very hard kick into the balls from his opponent is one solution and also a tazer!
But I am curious what you can do with aikido...maybe there are some links for techniques?
No, all aikido techniques use the whole body, but the arm/wrist locks might be adaptable to use on their own using just the upper body.
There is a lot you can do with just your hands and arms. The head can be a weapon too!
This would be something that I would envisage would be taught one on one, not to a guy in a wheelchair rolling onto the mat with able-bodied students. (That was a joke, right?)
@Sturdy: I took a few aikido classes, my understanding is that none of the basic techniques would work from a wheelchair. I can't speak for the advanced ones (I don't know them), but I'm not sure how you would learn them without mastering the basics.
Also, let's not ignore the fact that the floor of aikido, judo and ju-jitsu dojos is covered in tatami. There's good reason they don't let people enter with shoes: the soles can damage the surface of the tatami. You can't expect to be allowed to roll in with your wheelchair.
Aikido has some pretty good arm locks, but they work best when you are moving your whole body in time with your attacker. I'm not sure how well they would work without this.

2012-07-10 오후 5:17Hey,
Who knows techniques for self defense for someone in a wheelchair?
He have a very bad condition through hereditary lung-emphysema.
He could get his hands, arms and legs when he is sitting in the the wheelchair.
The fight should have results as soon as possible so that an opponent is disabled!!!
Who knows effective techniques for this group of people?
