Come to Rock Creek Sports on Sunday, October 4, 2009 from 12pm-2pm for a self-defense seminar to benefit the Limbs for Life Foundation's "Kicking for Kids Who Can't" program. 100% of the money raised will go directly to buy prosethetics for children who can't otherwise afford them.

Come learn basic self-defense techniques in a seminar lead by Rock Creek Sports Club trainer and lifelong martial artist, black belt Sensei Yvonne Montalvo. Teens and adults are welcome to this hands-on seminar. Learn a variety of basic concepts, as well as standing, ground, and weapon defense techniques from arts and styles including Shotokan karate, Enshin karate, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, Aikijiu-jitsu, and Western boxing.

Bring a son or daughter. Bring a parent. Bring a friend. Challenge yourself to learn something new, have fun, and help to raise money for kids in need.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and athletic shoes (no open-toed shoes or flip flops). The seminar will include both barefoot and shoes-on techniques.

ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE SEMINAR ARE REQUESTED TO PRE-PAY ONLINE BY OCTOBER 3. Minimum $25 dollar donation requested by October 3; $30 at the door on October 4. Participants paying at the door should be prepared to pay for the class in cash or by check made out to "Limbs for Life Foundation" prior to the start of the class.

Class will start promptly at 12pm.
