VOICED: Disabled in Japan take pride in wrestling

Doglegs is a unique form of pro wrestling in Tokyo that includes both disabled and non-disabled participants. It began 20 years ago with a fight over a woman and has evolved into a platform for expression and challenging societal norms. The matches are similar to mixed martial arts, with real fighting and injuries. Despite criticism for exposing disabled individuals to danger, the organizer believes it helps them express themselves and challenge conventional attitudes. Doglegs aims to provide equal footing for disabled individuals in the ring, making a social statement through entertainment.
