COMMUNITY CANE CLASS
Free Personal Safety Program for Seniors. The New Hartford Public Library is sponsoring a three-week Community Cane Class teaching personal safety for seniors using a walking cane. The program is free with pre-registration and all materials are provided, and is taught by Headmaster Eric Stalloch of the American Martial Arts Institute in New Hartford. Mr. Stalloch has been instructing cane self-defense classes and seminars for more than 26 years. Persons of all mobility levels are welcome. The class is participatory with a light warm-up, blocks, strikes, self-defense techniques, and katas (a traditional martial arts exercise). The goal of the class is for seniors to learn how to better protect themselves and improve balance and mobility in a group class. While geared for seniors ages 50 and older, all adults ages 25 and older are welcome. Whether you use a cane daily for mobility or are simply interested in how to defend yourself, this class is for you.
