Blind judo bind

Visually impaired judo practitioners are unhappy with the Malaysian Association of the Blind (MAB) for disrupting their martial arts class.

The MAB has asked the Selangor Judo Association (SJA) to cease all training sessions. This is because the MAB had made arrangements to replace the SJA instructors, who had been conducting classes there for the last six years, with trainers from the Malaysian Judo Federation (MJF).

"I am used to my current instructors and am afraid that I will lag behind if someone else takes over. I remember attending a training session conducted by other trainers last year and was not able to learn anything," said Steven Looi.
