How to Live-Blind students, and Miyamoto Mushashi

As Kung Fu is the beginning of martial arts and means "How to Live" I am discussing Kung Fu philosophy so when I use the word Kung Fu I am referring to it's meaning and use martial arts philosophy.
As most dojos are martial arts and therefore are meant for students to learn 'how to live', as we learn to be 'our own best friend' by learning self-defense to defend ourselves and to strike our opponents to win, to be winners, and to better ourselves, that means, that if a dojo teaches a blind student, the blind student learns to make blindness an asset, a friend, a positive aspect of oneself, rather than making blindness an enemy, we make it a friend. In this regard, there are some redneck dojos that discriminate against the deaf but I am not naming names at this moment.
But truly, marital arts is meant to teach people to be their own best friend, using all their faults, weaknesses, strengths, differences, to their advantage.
Miyamoto Mushashi, said, "I do not need to be bigger, or stronger, or have any more of what I am. I use myself to the best I can be".
