I think this should be a required class because it is beneficial to every one to learn not to be a victim. It's about learning how to avoid becoming a victim, how to exude confidence, and if you are attacked how to use your whole body to disable your attacker and get away from the situation. Over all I really enjoyed the class and you are such a fun, goofy teacher. I wish all teachers were like that. I will definately recommend this class to others. And continue to practice what I learned." </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Jene Ahrens, self-defense student, 8 weeks</B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="689" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#003399 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 321 WIDTH="677"><div> <B>Saturday Self-Defense Class: </B></div> <div> <B>10:15-11:15</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Self-Defense Seminar </B>(2 hour intensive): </div> <div> <B>NOW FREE TO THE PUBLIC!</B></div> <div> <B>Next class: TBA</B></div> <div> <B><U>Pre-registration is required.

I always thought that if I was to be attacked that I would just claw and fight until I got out of a hold. Now with the basic moves I've learned I concentrate on certain parts of the body. This class was very helpful and makes me more confident in being by myself. I would recommend this class to any of my girl friends." </B></div> <div> <B>Jenn Beckmann, self-defense student</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"I feel it has been a privilege to take this class, especially when it was taught by such a positive instructor. The class turned out to be fun, but the best thing about it is that I got the chance to learn things physically and mentally to better myself. I can honestly say that self-defense has been the most interesting class I took thus far in my college education. Every week in the past 8 weeks I have looked forward to coming to self-defense. There was only one problem: it only lasted 50 minutes a day, 2 days a week. As far as your training goes, I personally believe it couldn't be any better. You provided the class with several devastating attacks and moved up to some grappling techniques; from there we learned defense moves and reversals. You made sure everyone was on the same pace. Whether it took one on one training or group training. On top of all things, the class remained safe and no one got hurt. Overall, the class and the training was excellent. I feel a lot more confident about myself. I feel this is because I had you as a teacher. Each day you came in the class with a good mood and a smile to make everyone feel comfortable. I also think you provided the proper training in any situation that I can get into. Thank you for the excellent training. It was a good experience and has been a pleasure." </B></div> <div> <B>Jon Oliver, self-defense student</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"It was not difficult to get excited each class because my instructor, Jamie Thornton White, was so enthusiastic about self-defense. I really enjoyed the class and found it very beneficial. I have been able to show others what I have learned from this class and help them feel the same confidence I do. The world really is dangerous at times and anyone can become a target at some point. It is so good to know that I can defend myself and possibly protect others from an attacker. I am thankful to Jamie for the time and effort she put into our class to help us feel safer." Amanda Chastain, self-defense student, 8 weeks</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"I took this class for this reason. I wanted to feel more in control of bad situations that come my way and I wanted to increase my self-confidence. Learning self-defense to me means taking control of your life. This class has provided me with a lot of valuable information about defending myself. I feel more confident and powerful. Now I know more about the power I possess. Both of you are very inspiring women and I am glad I got to meet you. Your classes are very positive and have helped me gain more self-confidence within myself. Thank you!" </B></div> <div> <B>Linsey DeSantis, self-defense student</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"Self-defense training was very beneficial to me. After I have taken this class, I find myself walking taller and I find that I have much more confidence when it comes to defending myself. I think this class is very unique. There is no way I would have ever known how to defend myself during an attack. I would have probably just started swinging. Hopefully I will never have to use my self-defense training, but now I know I will be fully prepared to do so." </B></div> <div> <B>Casey Dierkes, Self-Defense student</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"Over the last 8 weeks, I have learned many useful techniques that could someday save my life. In addition to learning many different techniques, my confidence level has also risen to a new high. The moves I was taught are very effective and do not require a great deal of force. This is important, because it is reassuring to know techniques that would be just as effective on someone your own size, or someone twice your size. I really enjoyed taking self-defense class. The techniques I learned and knowledge I gained will most definately be beneficial to me in the future. I now plan on furthering my knowledge by practicing Tae Kwon Do. Thank you for the wonderful class." </B></div> <div> <B>Justin Smith, self-defense student</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"During the last 8 weeks of self-defense, I have really established a sense of self-confidence. A sense that if I was put in the situation of being attacked I would be able to free myself. Throughout the class, you taught us multiple techniques. You tried to prepare us of any possible way we might be attacked, such as directions, grabs, holds, ground fighting, and even how to disarm weapons from an attacker's hands. I truly enjoyed the class as a whole. I thought it was very informational and fun all at the same time.
