Maybe if there's enough interest we could put one on? I'm sure I'm not the only one here who could lead/teach one.

When people work with partners it's lot's easier. I've been the attacker in some classes I've been involved in when my (female) instructor was teaching. I've also used my oldest son (now 14) to help me demonstrate some things. It works pretty well and you'd be surprised how even a 14 year old can fight off an adult if they know what to do and don't panic.


Sounds Awesome! :wink:

I'd like to go with my family (=4), if possible.

I'll talk to my daughters about this, I know that my older just signed up for one but my little one(almost 19 yrs) needs this, she is sometimes too independent.
Thanks Doug for offering this.

I'd be happy to do something if anyone is interested. I don't claim to be an expert by any stretch, but I have had training and have taught or assisted in several classes.

Now, I don't have one of those big red padded suits so no one would be able to do actual full contact striking like in some classes, but there is still a benefit to being shown some techniques and how to apply them.

My older daughter (23) and her friend are interested, and I am still waiting to hear back from my younger daughter (21). This a great thing you're doing -- thank you very much.
