    Honestly you should be at the shooting range if thugs are your concern. there’s plenty of places to conceal weapons when you’re in a chair.

    Aside from that I know a couple people in a wheel chair that do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for fun and too stay in shape, but I’m sure it isn’t easy for them. There’s also several karate programs dedicated to people with disabilities that you can look up on google.

    I’ve seen high level Aikido and (traditional) Jujutsu demonstrate sitting techniques that use wrist locks, etc. to bring an attacker to the ground, but I’m certain they don’t teach you that until you’ve been studying a while (more than 7/8 years).

    Jiu-Jitsu, you can choke a guy out. Or Muay Thai so you can learn punching and elbows.

    Possibly jiu jitsu.
    I’ve heard of a guy with both of his legs amputated that did jui jitsu.

    I don’t know what your situation is but the guy in this video is amazing.
    I have also seen many wheelchair bound martial artists.

    Well, there are some martial arts, but first I’d suggest buying a gun and hiding it.

    As for the martial arts, I have been taking arnis, karate and aikido for a long time. It’s a Filipino stick fighting art that can easily be translated into blades (knives/shortswords) and open/closed hand (punches/knifehands). If you take it for a while, you will most likely become extremely fast with any hand movement.
    Also, there are several takedowns in arts such as karate that only require 2, and eventually 1 hand. No feet or standing involved. They simply involve joint locks and an understanding of the skeletal and muscular anatomy.

    I’d suggest either:
    1. Buying a gun.
    2. Taking karate classes, as karate is primarily joint locks.
    3. Buying a pair of escrimas (google them) and taking arnis classes.
