Gentlemen,

 

Evelyn Valdez has arranged this terrific opportunity as one of our
Alexandria chapter activities, but I thought it would be great to invite our
fellow northern Virginians. 

 

If you'd like, please feel free to distribute the below announcement to your
chapter lists.

 

Thanks!

 

Brian Miller

President

This Self Defense and Personal Protection seminar will only focus on
realistic and simple goals, techniques, and tactics that have been proven to
work for the blind.  Our seminar will focus on Martial Arts that blind
people practice and compete in regularly.  Grappling styles like wrestling,
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Judo where blind participants compete and the only
modification they have over sighted people is that they are allowed to touch
one part of their opponent at the beginning of the match, usually on the
wrist to give them a since of range, balance, and movement so they can
utilize their attacking and defending techniques.  Using what already works
this seminar will focus on using contact to off balance and attack key areas
on your attacker while at the same time maintaining balance and dominant
position aka the "High ground" to protect ourselves or render our opponent
unconscious or unable to continue attack due to high levels of pain.

 

To be covered:

 

*	How to keep your base under Attack 

 

*	How to control your attackers arms to avoid being hit and to force
them down

 

*	How to defend yourself on ground

 

*	How to escape various grabs and holds

 

*	How to hit with knockout force or create enough pain that your
attackers give up his attack
