The 1Touch Project is a not-for-profit organization that provides ongoing
self-development and rehabilitation courses through adapted self-defense
training specifically for people who are blind/visually impaired and members
of society requiring physically adaptive activities. Participants will learn
how to assess the level of danger in a situation, break free of another's
grasp, and judge whether to fight or flee. Learning these techniques has
proven highly effective in the development of: independence,
self-confidence, spatial orientation, mobility and dexterity, and tactile
sensitivity.
