The program which has been featured on the BBC radio program, InTouch, is becoming very popular in Europe. You can hear Stephen’s interview on the BBC here: www.enablingsafety.co.uk
This will be an introductory seminar, and we hope to have regular classes at the LightHouse in the future. We need your presense and feedback on October 24th to help train martial arts instructors who are being certified to teach the program. Stephen is always looking for the opportunity to meet visually impaired students who are interested in becoming martial arts/self defense instructors, so if you are interested please come to the LightHouse on the October 24th to meet him.
