If anyone is interested in the self-defense stuff I do & would like to see some of it live, Impact is having its big annual fundraiser this Saturday:

http://www.impactbayarea.org/impact.php?Mugathon2005/Mugathon2005.html

The fundraiser is designed as a big party & chance to practise fighting for the people who've already taken our classes, so if you want to hear explanation & discussion of what we do & why we do it in these particular ways, this might not be for you.  But if you're interested in seeing a demonstration of self-defense for children, or simply in seeing some Impact-style fights, please feel free to drop by!

I'm going to be there, coaching fights and drinking hot cider (ooh, I hope there really is hot cider; there has been in past years!) and I'm always happy to answer questions.  If you do show up feel free to ask for me & introduce yourself if I don't already know you!  You can drop in & leave at any time & nobody will expect you to give them money, unless you're buying a brownie or something.
