who also enjoy the RV lifestyle. The
result is a great combination for friend-
ship, travel and adventure. We currently
number nearly 100 rigs of virtually every
style and configuration. Having a rig is
not required for membership. Some of
our trips are at locations that also have
cabins or motels nearby. Our members
organize group RV trips to a wide variety
of destinations throughout the year; they
are listed on our website. We meet once
a month except June, July and August
when many of our members are away
traveling. Interested residents can find
membership and other information on
the club website or from Jim Crumbliss.
Self-Defense
Mixed Martial Arts & Self Defense
Contact Fred Warman at
[email protected] with On September 27, a number of Singers
questions.
The Self Defense (SD) Club’s primary goal
is to help our members develop:
1) A greater awareness of risks and re-
lated avoidance techniques
2) Effective defensive/offensive techniques
when an encounter can’t be avoided.
Members are taught easy-to-learn self-
protection techniques:
– Instructors are Sun City Texas resi-
dents with extensive self-defense train-
ing.
– The techniques taught are tailored to
accommodate the physical limitations
of each individual.
– Training is non-combative with no sig-
nificant physical contact.
– A portion of each class is devoted to
practice with one or more partners.
– The SD Club membership dues for the
balance of the year are $10.
– Use of a cane as a defensive tool is
available upon request; if interested,
contact Fred Warman.
Membership and classes are free to resi-
dents with Parkinson’s disease and are
free to CA monitors and Fitness Center
desk personnel.
Effective September, all training classes
for the balance of the year (12 classes) will
be free with a paid SD Club membership.
Classes are offered in six weekly segments
per session and members can attend class-
