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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>To be covered:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4'>How to keep your base under Attack <o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4'>How to control your attackers arms to avoid being hit and to force them down<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4'>How to defend yourself on ground<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4'>How to escape various grabs and holds<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='color:#545454;margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo4'><span style='color:windowtext'>How to hit with knockout force or create enough pain that your attackers give up his attack</span><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you would like to participate, please register with Evelyn Valdez by replying to this announcement via email: <a href="mailto:evelyn.valdez212@gmail.com">evelyn.valdez212@gmail.com</a> or txt/call: 908-803-4891.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
