Self-Defense Course FOUND!

Hey CT! I recently inquired about a basic self defense course for women. While some may say this is OT I don't. For me and possibly some others, having my body get smaller, while wonderfully exciting, is also scary. So I thought, why not find a way to feel safe (AND NOT EAT!). Hence the self-defense idea. I found one and am passing the info on those that might be interested. _________________________ SELF-DEFENSE WORKSHOP WEST HAVEN, CT - A FREE woman's self-defense workshop will take place Saturday (assuming it is this coming) from 5 to 7 pm at Assembly of the Martial Arts Academ, 841 Jones Hill Road. The workshop will demonstrate simple but effective moves th at can save a woman's life. There will be a discussion of how to assure your safety. The workshop is FREE, but registration is required. Call 931-1979 and leave your name, phone number and number of people attending. _________________________ just passing along the info. Towanda

Thanks for the info, Towanda! I'm going to call and see if they schedule these regularily becuase I won't be able to make it this Saturday. -Deb

Hi Deb: I did call yesterday and spoke with the owner (Adam). He will be offering the workshop again, hoping to make it a monthly thing, eventually charging $25 each month. He told me that this kind of thing (street self-defense) is not learned in one session (makes sense). I also told him that others may be interested. Will keep you in the loop. Or you can call him to find out more details. They also offer a cardio kick-boxing class. On a lighter side...my poor husband....heehee. ONLY KIDDING! His wife goes from being morbidly obese to "Ninja-woman"! Towanda
