Sorry this has taken so long, but a couple things have come up.

I am going to start hosting Self Defense classes at Dawn of the Delts in downtown Maurtia Falls. It'll be Tuesday and Thursday nights between 5pm and 9pm. I'll be hosting classes for different age brackets but that will depend on who signs up. Adult classes at 7pm-9pm, Teens from 5pm-7pm.

There'll be a signup sheet at the front desk for both classes. If you have any questions you can let me know here. I'll think about more advanced classes once we get a better idea of where everyone's starting at.

Is this normal soccer mom self defense or some kind of super defense that will actually help when things go crazy around here?

Actual defense that will help you.

I'm not sure what soccer mom defense would be.

It's just the most basic stuff. Tricks like holding your keys in your fist or punching someone in the throat. It's not a complete style.

They're good tricks in a pinch, but no it'll be closer to an actual fighting style.

It'll be basic things I learned in the military.

could i take this even if im an absolute beginner and im deaf?

I don't see why not, though I'm not the best with ASL. I could learn a few things to try and aid you better.

Are these lessons for anyone?

They are. Anyone is more then welcome to attend the classes.

I have some health issues, but I'd like to learn the basics.

Would that be okay?

Of course. We'll make sure we cover what health concerns you have when you sign up. There'll likely be a waver.

Anything in particular I should know about?

I have a couple old injuries but nothing life threatening. Other than that, I'm pretty much someone who a strong wind could knock over.

That sounds awesome. I know some martial arts from back home, but I've never heard of self-defense classes! This is cool!

It's akin to learning something like Tae Kwon Do or Karate. It'll teach basic self defense techniques so you can defend yourself.

You should join. It'd be nice to have someone else who knows what they're doing around.

Excellent! I would love to learn that, then!

I'll be there. I love learning.

Great! I'm glad that there's some interest for it.
I was kind of worried with the delay that no one would want to participate.

Might be slow, but if you keep up, these posts every few weeks, I think people will come around.

I am looking forward to it.

I'm 17 but the adult class hours kinda work better for me. Any way to work around that? I'm not afraid to have to spar against adults

they're what I usually have to defend against, anyway

I'd have to see. If not I would not mind working out private lessons. There could be some legal thing about it.

If you need another instructor or someone to help you while you teach the class, let me know. I'm not "formally" trained, but I have a lifetime of informal training. I'd be happy to demonstrate.

I really appreciate it. It'll be nice having some help.

I be happy to see it. Maybe we could meet sometime to make sure our styles don't clash too much. I'm Keith by the way.

Mary.

I can meet any time. You around tonight?

It's a pleasure, Mary.

Sure. Did you want to meet at the gym or somewhere else?

Gym is fine. It's the [insert gym name] on [street name], right?

((ooc: memory menu here! The first six options are up for grabs.))

Yeah. Give me about twenty minutes to get ready and I'll be there.

(( ooc: I didn't have Keith on the memory thread plotting, but if you want Mary to get one of his let me know! I'll get something set up for it. I am currently not on plurk (because I am at work) but I am on discord @ icarus#6378 if you need to contact me. I'll respond to the log in a moment! ))

[She switches briefly to video and gives a little wave.]

See you there.

((ooc: i think it'd be fun if they started sparring first before the memory transfers! make their match a little spicier~. And I don't know how to use discord tbh. i'm still learning.))

Self defense, hunh?

[ Hello person, you have his attention. ]

I'm a black belt in judo, but I haven't practiced actively in some time. Tried retraining myself, but that gets hard without a sparing partner. I could hop in on this, and once I get back in the feel of things, help you with others?

Um, how much would it cost?

Complete beginners are fine?
