[Sportsandrec] One Touch Self Defense

[TNABA]

Okay everyone as promised, I am going to provide a link to the website for 
the 1Touch program. It was started in England by Stephen Nicoles. It is a 
self defense class or series of classes designed to teach a blind person how 
to defend themselves by keeping contact with their attacker at all times. 
This allows the blind person to know where their attacker is at all time. 
This could also be be benefitial for sighted people as well.

The TNABA offered this demo at our Adaptive Sports Conference last fall and 
hope to offer it again this October. We were going to host a certification 
training here in Nashville Tn later this month but we were unable to gain 
enough interest to have it, so we are trying again for the Fall to host the 
training.

During the certification training attendiees will receive training and 
materials, as well as, a descriptive DVD and of course Certification to 
teach the classes. This would allow you to take this program back to your 
city and share it. Also there would be opportunities to travel the country 
and present the program and make some money at the same time. The training 
will cost $350 for the one here in Tennessee which covers your lodging, 
food, and training. If you want to sign up to attend the training then I can 
put you on a list and email you when we get enough folks with a specific 
date.

I hope this link answers questions for you and if you need more info please 
feel free to contact me off the list serve at tnaba at bellsouth.net

Their website is down for maintance but it is www.1touchproject.org  there 
was also some youtube videos i found as well.

Hope this helps and feel free to contact me.
