I’m joined again by Juliette and Dominic, two individuals journeying through the tactile world of Martial Attitude’s adaptive Kung Fu Wing Chun training. Together, we’re breaking down traditional martial arts movements into something powerful yet personal, designed to enhance spatial confidence—especially for visually impaired and blind individuals.

We start with a fundamental question—what does touch mean? For Juliette and Dominic, touch goes beyond mere contact; it’s a language, a way to express gratitude, awareness, and cooperation. Throughout this training, touch has become the key to navigating the space around them, transforming physical interactions into a means of communication.

As we dive deeper, you’ll hear us discuss how this approach to training differs from conventional martial arts, where repetition and precision often overshadow interaction. Instead, our goal here is to sustain a connection—a continuous ‘conversation’ of movement and response that builds trust and understanding. Join us as we explore how we’re creating a learning system that empowers each participant not just to learn a movement but to connect through it, growing together as a community.

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.
