[blindlaw] Fw: AccommodationandComplianceseries:TheADAAmendments Act of 2008

[John]

Believe it or not, this is one time that I will admit that I would rather
rely on a time proven white cane than some mystical power or martial art. I
also find it odd that learning a martial art has anything to do with whether
or not a person is legally defined as disabled.

I've heard of Native American teachings of, walking through the forest at

look into the martial arts methods too.
