Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

David Black who has Retinitis Pigmentosa was attacked three times. Despite having studied martial arts he felt unable to defend himself as a blind person. He sought help from a charity in Scotland which runs self-defence courses for disabled people. David's confidence has sky-rocketed since and he now teaches the same course which helped to boost his confidence, to other blind people. Emma Tracey from 麻豆社 Ouch went along to meet David and and pick up one or two self-defence tricks. First broadcast on In Touch, 20 June 2017.
