Please excuse this if you've already received it. I previously sent the email with a pdf flyer and it was rejected. I'd like to resend for those of you looking for great programming ideas. Here is my original email: Hello Everyone, We had a wonderful Self-Defense workshop with Lee Shaykhet, creator of specialized methods of self defense on 9/30/13. He is a wonderful speaker, very bright and knowledgeable is also very funny and engaged the entire audience. I still have people coming back to thank me for hosting the program. He sold all of his books at the program. He's very easy to work with, his rates are negotiable; he would love to provide his workshop in different libraries. He recently gave an inservice and trained the staff at Lyon Township. I spoke to Michelle Fields and said he was delightful, they loved him. We are going to have him back in the winter/spring for a few more programs. If you have a question about his rates, you can contact me off the list, or contact him at Lee Shaykhet Shaykhet Training shaykhettraining.com lee@shaykhettraining.com 248.761.5632 Here's some of the information from the flyer from our program... It’s a well known fact that a crime could happen to anyone at anytime. If it happened to you what would you do? Can you defend yourself? Now is asgood a time as any to learn! Join us on Monday, September 30 at 7:00 pm in the Friend’s Auditorium for a workshop with Lee Shaykhet, creator of specialized methods of self-defense. Mr. Shaykhet will teach you how to defend yourself, as well as get in shape in as little as ten minutes a day. Mr. Shaykhet was born in Moscow, and early in his career trained members of the former Soviet Army. He has provided self defense and fitness instruction to law enforcement agencies, military organizations, and security and consulting companies all over the United States and Canada. He has also trained body guards for special events. Traditional self defense systems are normally complicated and require lots of practice, thus too hard for everyday citizens to follow and maintain. Mr. Shaykhet’s program is uncomplicated, based on natural instinct, and does not require a lot of practice. His fitness training originated from training the military; no equipment is required and it can be done anywhere, regardless of your current physical condition. Mr. Shaykhet was contacted as a self defense and security expert for an exclusive interview with Fox 2 Detroit, where he discussed the Boston Marathon Bombings and Profiling in America. Lee will also be promoting his recently published book, *Simple Self-Defense Techniques Everyone Should Know.* Please let me know if you have any questions.
