At the time of this writing this troper had fallen off his bike and injured most of his limbs. He has to gkeep his leg straight to stop the stitches being pulled out of his knee, and because most of the skin on my shoulder no longer exists some people felt the need to test this. When one friend half-jokingly asked what I'd do if he touched my shoulder, I politely pointed out that I could still SWIVEL on my bad leg, and thus I would still be able to deliver a powerful round-house kick to his jaw. Sometimes I love karate.

My (soon-to-be) father-in-law has been blind since he was very young. A few years ago, from the story he tells, he was walking the streets of London late at night. These two guys attempted to mug him. What they did not know is that he has extensively trained in tai chi. They apparently didn't see it coming and he kicked their collective asses.

"Didn't see it coming", hee.

This Troper has seen Youtube footage of a wheelchair-bound person taking down a stick-up artist in a liquor store. Do not fuck with someone whose arms do the work of his legs, all day, every day. It will not end well.

this troper has fibromyalgia which started unusually early, a gimp knee from dislocating the kneecap so many times she's lost count, and arthritis in one hip and one shoulder, and alternates between using one cane, two canes, a rollator, and a wheelchair depending on how her pain levels are at given time and what she plans on doing. this troper is also more than able to kick butt when needed, as she use to take karate, still practices her kicks and punches when possible, knows how to use her cane as an effective weapon, and having had to deal with chronic, severe pain starting at an early age has unholy levels of pain endurance (I've walked away limping from injuries that have left people use to only normal pain levels on the ground whimpering). this troper also likes to use her abilities a little more subtly than she could, like when she "accidentally" put her cane down on someone's toe while "stumbling" resulting in enough pressure they dislocated that toe when someone was physically harassing a friend of hers. she also realizes anyone would feel embarrassed to get visibly injured by a small handicapped girl even if they do win the fight and gotten out of one hairy situation by mentioning that fact to someone.

This troper has been beaten pretty badly by one of the Ottawa {{Kendo}} team's finest on several occasions. Did I mention he only has one leg?

When he hurts himself badly, this troper qualifies. He used to have a line on his troper page asking to be excused for typos, as he'd done something stupid with a knife, and had bandaged his own hand to stop it bleeding. Didn't care about the pain, just about the copious amounts of blood that would be really awkward to have to clean off everything. Needless to say, this troper disovered that there's a reason knives go downwards when cutting, not up.
