    In college, I had a fellow student with a similar condition. Although he’d often use a wheelchair to get around, it was not at all unusual to see him using his arms to walk around campus.

    In multiple occasions, I saw him do a takedown tackle of another student and basically wipe the ground with him. He didn’t even look completely muscular - although he did have really good definition on some of them - but he was so damn strong overall just from the way he got around that he’d just thrash them.

    Plus, there’s no way to socially come out as winning a fight with a person who has no legs. There’s no way not to lose that fight, it’s just bad versus worse.

      Very true, but win or lose, it makes the “you should see the other guy!” trick way more impressive.
