Hey, I got a idea...


I have been brewing an idea for a while now. I have thought about how to do something that will help me accomplish a couple of goals. One, it would be to help me develop, tweak and better my presentation. Two, the plan would help me gather a group of people that will also be a support of sorts. And three, it would assist in me gaining video shorts and pics for social media. I decided to call it a focus group b/c we would be focusing on specifics with the goal of feedback and input. 
   On the two occasions I was able to teach in 2022, I realized how much I enjoyed doing so. Being able to be in front of others and sharing knowledge is so inspiring, fun and joyous that I really need to do it more often. This will be the gateway that helps me with that. At least that is the vision.
   What I have in mind is that there would be a short introduction to terminology and expectations for the duration of the focus group. The group will be limited to a maximum of 10 women, minimum of 6. It will cost much less than seminar cost. At the end of 4 weeks, money will be refunded to those who attend each session with no absences. 
   The duration of the focus group is 4 weeks of 3 hrs each, and on additional hour for the introduction session. 
   Sessions will consist of various types of teaching methods, which include lecture, discussion, play and discovery, along with fieldwork and homework.  
   I started Subtle Warrior Self Defense 19 years ago and have taught women self defense all around Nevada, and in several other states as well and to a variety of groups and organizations. I have continued my own training in the self defense industry to become more knowledgeable about the subject and to hone my instruction. 
   Dates and time have not yet been set. The first step was putting feelers out for places to gather. The plan is to start early in 2023, and the group will be meet in Wells.
   COVID affected everyone one way or another, including me. I dodged the illness, but the mental aftermath was my challenge. Which is some of the reason Subtle Warrior has not been offering any seminars for a while. I am hoping that enough people will be interested for this to happen. 
   If you have ever reached out to me wanting to learn or had any interest in learning from me and what I do, this would be your best bet. All the material, at the lowest price possible. Once the seminars are ready for public consumption, the price increases.
