Thanks to my good friend and fellow FN trainer Keith C for this pic which reminded me of this quote that Hock posted on his blog yesterday:
“I want to live in a world where criminals are plain scared to death of normal people (and I might add, world history tells us governments should always be a little intimidated and scared of their people).”
Training for under 18’s
Due to the recent disturbing increase in young women in our area being targeted for assault and predatory behaviour I’ve had an increase in requests for training for under 18 year olds.
This age group is usually the focus of my “One In One” school workshops but because of several emails I have decided to open the Tuesday night group to include any parent that wishes to train with their child.
This is a great way for a parent to share the training with their child and also discuss any of the issues and topics discussed with them at home.
The way this works:
Minimum age is 14 years and MUST be accompanied by an adult guardian that trains with them or two under 18’s (14 plus) who train together with an adult guardian accompanying them throughout the workshop.
Cost per pair is £10.
Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested in taking part.
