Anyone interested?

I'm thinking about taking a self-defense class, just for kicks (no pun intended). I was wondering if any local people would be interested in taking it with me. Here's the info I got from a co-worker:

Next month, United Martial Arts Center will be beginning its latest session of a wonderful self-defense seminar. The course is geared mainly toward women (although men are more than welcome), and focuses on personal protection, fear management, and physical defense techniques. The instructor (who is also a close friend of mine) is extremely effective at teaching practical, real-world methods for avoiding (and, if necessary, getting out of) potentially life-threatening situations. He is truly passionate about helping others learn to protect themselves. Best of all, the majority of the seminar is hands-on: you're actually practicing the techniques, not just watching someone stand in front of a room.

This seminar, which is called Metaphor, runs for five weeks from July to August, and is endorsed by the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. If you are at all interested at learning how to defend yourself when confronted with physical violence, I strongly encourage you to check out this course.
