Description The aim of this research is to find how the self-defense instructors feel prepared to work with specific groups including people with the disabilities. This research involved 65 respondents (52 men and 13 women). Self-assessment of the ability and willingness to lead, communicate or organize self-defense courses for individual groups with special needs or willingness to integrate these people into regular self-defense lessons were evaluated by a created questionnaire. Results showed that self-defense instructors are the most concerned about working with people with mental impairments and do not feel very prepared to work with specific groups, except for self-defense of women, children, and seniors. For improvement, a level of assurance of self-defense instructors for working with people with special needs is necessary targeted education aimed at working with people with disabilities.
