Well maybe, therefore, who is a winner and who is a looser is a matter of perspective.

Non-resistance doesn't mean without force. It means when you apply force people can't resist it. I would say this man in the wheelchair characterises the concept of non-resistance very well. I suggest that you challenge him, and if he is able to avoid your resistance with wit or ingenuity you may have found yourself a martial arts master.
