A hearing-impaired coach conducts classes in sports knife fighting. For the coach, this is not only martial arts. He walks the path of learning the limit of his abilities in order to understand how to fight on an equal footing with a superior opponent. Not to let them anywhere near to avoid them hurting you, or to allow rapprochement. Does this mean making vulnerable not only the opponent, but also yourself?
