Subject: Great Opportunity Coming Soon! 1Touch Self-Defense Project

Dear Friend;

If you could distribute this announcement to anyone you think would be
interested would be greatly appreciated. 

1Touch Project is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides ongoing
self-development and rehabilitation courses through adapted self-defense
training specifically for people who are blind/VI and members of society
requiring physically adaptive activities. 1Touch is ACVREP approved and is
working extensively with the veterans administration and organizations
serving the blind on the mainland. Thanks to the generosity of the Atherton
Family Foundation 1Touch will be providing a workshop and a coaching
certification course in Hawaii free of charge! The registration deadline is
June 13th. Space is limited so we encourage you to register early. The
trainings will be held at:

Daybreak;
Location: 1230 Kailua Rd
Kailua, Hi  96734

Coaching Certification Course July 25-27, 9:00AM - 5:00PM 

Workshop July 28, 10:00AM - 4:00PM 

Introductory Workshops

Workshops provide basic education on personal safety while travelling in
addition to exploring physical techniques. Workshops also serve as an
excellent forum for questions and answers and the legalities of self-defense
and personal rights. All workshops are hands-on, and participants engage in
everything from learning basic releases from non-threatening situations to
handling the most severe assaults. This is achieved by practicing physical
drills for muscle memory. Participants interact with their classmates,
engaging in drills of coordination and physical exercises such as limbering
techniques, flexing the joints, and using as much of their body for movement
as possible. Drills range from practicing footwork in order to achieve safe
distance to delivering appropriate techniques, having contact with a
training partner to facilitate striking, and a series of combinations that
enable the practitioner to gain control of his or her training partner.
These include releases from grips and appropriate retaliatory techniques
such as joint-locking and immobilization techniques. These drills develop
spatial awareness, proprioception, tactile sensitivity, and a working
knowledge of anatomy. Training involves an examination of those techniques
most appropriate for a conflict situation. In addition to the physically
adapted techniques, the 1Touch emphasizes a unique teaching pedagogy with an
emphasis on audio description. This aspect of working with people who are
blind/VI is frequently omitted from mainstream classes and is integral to
the 1Touch Project ethos of inclusion. This approach of combining audio
description with self-defense techniques, as well as forensically studying
the nature and means of assaults on those people who are viewed as
vulnerable members of society is the trademark of the 1Touch.

Coaching Certification Courses 

The Coaching Certification Course enables others to teach the 1Touch
syllabus in their constituency. This course is presented in the form of
seminar training, which includes the minimum hourly requirement and final
exam. Once the participants have successfully shown competency, they are
certified through the 1Touch Project to operate 1Touch self-defense in their
constituency.
