If you cannot see, then you must rely on a specific order in the things you use.

At home as much as at work. With the adding of some special attention towards your skills and your need by the employer.

But the boundaries between what it could be and what is gonna be tend to become very confused, almost blurred. And it is not a play on words.

We talk about these topics with Peter, in a conversation that span across domains: what you need, what you can and what is needed out of you if you are visually impaired or blind.

This interview was first recorded on Thursday 11th of November, 2021.

Support Martial Attitude on PATREON

My experience with Soft Tissue Massage Therapy was fundamental in developing this program by providing me with many practical tools to develop the ideas and methods of MA Training.

My first objective through the university course in Sport Psychology is to gain a deeper understanding of:

The needs of the visually impaired and blind people when it comes to personal safety.

What is the impact of movement and tactile experiences for them.

I'd plan to achieve this by conducting a series of research interviews within the community  in order to gain quantitative and qualitative data.

The second objective is to to further develop and refine the MA Training program based on the outcome of the research and to build on the success that I have achieved so far.

Peter Sands (Chairman of the London Sports Club for the Blind) is registered blind himself and he says that "MA Training has personally helped me to feel confident in crowded situations, be aware of my posture alignments and overall has improved my balance."

If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and blindness or if you would like to join in the Martial Attitude Training workshops now running in London every Sunday, please do keep in touch via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available  HERE.
