Women's Self-Defense Seminar
When: April 26th, Saturday
Time: 12:30 to 2:00pm

Dear Ladies,

United Studios of Self Defense is holding a Personal Protection class for Women & teens. This class is a must for you and your friends. Please register now for this FREE Protection class. It is to your benefit, and our (USSD Oceanside's) obligation to keep you, your friends, family and the community aware and SAFE.

Our goal is to reach as many women/teens for this FREE class. We would like to see 30 to 50 women take this very important protection class. Of course space is limited so please, you must get registered today. If you are inviting a friend they need to be registered as well with name and contact information, so we know how many to expect.

Again our goal is to reach as many as possible, but we will start with a goal of 30 to 50 women. As always this class will fill up fast.

This class will EMPOWER you.

Sincerely,
Sensei Terrell
