<p class="MsoNormal">Who is the 1Touch Project: The 1Touch™ is the first comprehensive descriptive self-defense program designed specifically for people who are blind. The program is a hands-on self-defense technique for dealing with assaults, aggressive behavior,
and bullying. 1Touch explores participant’s hidden assumptions regarding their own disability -- their personal perception of their blindness and insecurities built upon that perception. The 1Touch Project is primarily a method of personal development. More
information are available on the document attached or online at <a href="http://www.1touchproject.com/about.html">
