Horst M. Kohl ist Founder of the system Kae – In – Sog -  In (Self-defence for people with handicaps), and an Expert for sport with disabled people and for people in rehabilitation.
He has graduations in 6th Dan Tae - Kwon - Do and 6th Dan Kae - In - Sog – In.
Additional to Kae - In - Sog – In, he is the founder of two another kind of sports, they shall support the health and the fitness of handicapped people:
Thats are  „Slow-Motion“ and shooting with a blowpipe.

But first: Why want handicapped people learning martial art and self defence?
There are many different reason, why people starting training.
The most answere from people with handicaps is follow answere: “I want to like defend me I need the exercise of my body and in normal clubs, nobody is interesting in me and I am alone there.
I think, that these people who teach the aspects of martial art, fightsport or selfe defence, that they should think about, who is the student.
If a trainer is not think, or interesting about that, I must say to him, that he is only interesting in money and the plural of members in his club.

We as a trainer, we are responsible what image will become the martial in the in the public.
If you watch the pictures in the television or in the media, You will see mostly the bloody fight. But if you are engage in the beginning and the philosophies (not the philosophies which is teaching against the bible, you will get another opinion.

Kae – In – Sog – In, Why do we call this Kae-In-Sog-In ?

Kae-In-Sog-In is the Korean word for variety. Because of the variety of handicaps we also need a great variety of different self-defence possibilities.
One way is, we take very good techniques, they are able for handicapped sportsmen, and teach them. Another way is, that we produce new once for our handicapped sportsmen.
But the most important thing is that every self defence technique must adapt personal to every handicapped sportsman. Because the handicaps are different and also the personality of the sportsman.
 
This training is nearly over the hole federal territory accepted by many sport clubs for disabled persons in different ways.
 
In our Questionnaires to the persons, who offer the persons who take part and also to the teachers of our self-defence-courses for men and women with handicaps we are enounced by the “Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend” (Federal department for Family, senior citizens, woman and Youth) as legal officers.
 
Through our training we managed to offer self defence with qualified guidance for people with handicaps over the federal territory.
This training takes every year place in Kitzingen Germany at the “Mainfränkische Werkstätten” (a sort of school for disabled persons to get normal jobs).

SLOW - MOTION:
It is a teaching of exercise which shall improve the perceive ot the body through
- Strain and relaxation of different muscles
- Concentration / Coordination
- training the flexibility and fluent of the movements.

It looks like Tai Chi. But it is not.

Shooting with a blowpipe:
You must shooting with a blowpipe regard as a game. It is good for the concentration, you can use it as a competition and the aspect of the good effect for the health is various and great.
These kind kind of sport give us the chance to reach children, youth people and especially handicapped people in the wheelchair!
The length of a blowtipe is between 50cm until 120cm. The length of an arrow is between 8cm and 10cm. The target, which has the measure 40cm x 40cm, will stand in the distance between 5Meter until 10Meter.
