<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
