Self Defense Class To Begin in Iowa City
By Karen Kubby
The Johnson County Coalition of People with Disabilities is trying to
raise money to fund a self-defense class for 7-10 people.
Students meet twice a week for a year. The cost is $45 per month
per person, for a total of $3,780. I am trying to help the
Coalition raise a portion of these funds. Students will also be
contributing to their class fees. The instructor is Robert Woods
and he is reducing his monthly fee. The Parks and Recreation
Department of the City of Iowa City is donating the space.
The class is open to the public with disabilities on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 6:30-7:30pm at the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center in
the Gymnastics Room. In the beginning people associated with the
Johnson County Coalition for Disabilities, Uptown Bill's, and The Evert
Conner Center for Independent Living participated.
Thanks for your consideration of this request.
