SPRING 2016
world. You will learn effective techniques
against common attacks as well as the
thinking behind protecting yourself. With
its unique and logical approach, our
Adult Self Defense is easy to learn and retain; allowing it to be performed naturally,
intuitively and practically be used under
stressful conditions. Originally developed
for the Israeli Defense Forces, Krav Maga
is now used by various special police and
military and intelligence forces, such as
American CIA, FBI, US Marshals, USAF,
DEA, Federal Air Marshals, various police
departments, SWAT teams, etc. Cardio
Krav teaches multiple opponent defense
as part of its training, places emphasis on
scenario based training, and contains
many exercises and drills to put students
under physical and psychological stress in
order to acclimatize the student to the
stresses of reality based self-defense. In
adult self-defense you will learn essential
pressure points and how to approach
and control an opponent, utilizing the application of force; defend against most
common attacks; gain self-awareness of
your body as well as physical strength
and conditioning; learn ways to deal with
potentially violent situations as well as verbal and physical methods to avoid violence whenever possible. Gloves will be
provided on the first day of class.

Description: Learn the techniques for a
whole body self-treatment and empower
yourself for a lifetime of greater flexibility,
joint mobilization and pain free living in
this fun and interactive class. These techniques can be done standing or seated
so all activity and age levels can participate. This is a jam packed 90 minutes, but
I promise you will have fun, learn a lot
and feel great when we are done. So
how can easy, simple techniques that
take about 10 minutes a day create a
global effect on the body? The hands
and feet are peripheral and by stimulating the periphery the entire body system
responds. In order to support, protect and
stabilize your body and organs, your autonomic nervous system has to organize
information about where your center of
gravity is on a continual basis. To do this it
uses receptor sites that are all over your
body, mostly around joints. The feet alone
have 1/4 of all the bones in the body, 33
joints, so tons of receptors there are stimulated with the 5 protocols: position point
pressing, gliding, shearing, rinsing and friction. MELT techniques are also stimulating
to the lymph system which runs not far
under the skin, and when stimulated in
the hands and feet where waste tends to
accumulate, there is better cellular waste
removal and repair body wide. When the
receptors in the hands and feet are stimulated the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant which quiets the body’s
stress reflexes. Did THAT get your attention? This is powerful stuff and it is oh so
easy! Give this a try. You’ll be so happy
you did. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat.

Description: Using the soft ball and a
MELT soft foam body roller you will learn
how to create lasting change in your
body by hydrating the connective tissue
in your low back, hips, legs and feet.
What does hydration have to do with
Cellulite? When the backs of your legs are
chronically compressed (sitting does this
but there are many reasons that dehydration occurs) the spongy layers of connective tissue become dehydrated and
the collagen network in the tissue is damaged so much so that fatty tissue pokes
through leading to the cottage-cheese
effect. Ugh! With summer fast approaching, this class is a MUST! With lower body
sequences from the book, The MELT
Method: A Breakthrough Self-Treatment
System to Eliminate Chronic Pain, Ease
the Signs of Aging, and Feel Fantastic in
Just 10 Minutes a Day!, you will be
amazed at the global changes that can
be felt immediately not only in your lower
body but in your upper body as well. Try
it! It’s fun, empowering and very effective. Please wear workout clothes and
bring a yoga mat. Participants must be
able to get up and down off the floor easily for the Hydrate the Lower Body with
MELT class.

Description: Using the soft ball and MELT
soft foam body roller you will learn how to
create lasting change in your upper body
by hydrating the connective tissue in your
neck, shoulders, hands, upper, and mid
back. With upper body sequences from
the book, The MELT Method by Sue Hitzmann, you will be amazed at the global
changes that can be felt immediately not
only in your upper body but in your lower
body as well. Begin to get an understanding of the 4 R’s of MELT: Reconnect, Rebalance, Rehydrate, and Release and
learn how you can become a hands-off
body-worker and treat your own physical
and neurological imbalances. Try it! It’s
fun, empowering and very effective.
Please wear comfortable clothing and
bring a yoga mat. Participants must be
able to get up and down off the floor easily for the Hydrate the Upper Body with

Description: Developed by Joseph H. Pilates as a form of physical therapy in the
1920’s, Pilates is a system of exercise that
targets deep muscles of the front, sides
and back of the torso to strengthen your
entire body. Going deeper than the muscles you see in the mirror, Pilates strengthens the stabilizing muscles of your body,
so that your posture, balance, and entire
core strength all improve while you sculpt
your body. This is Joseph Pilates’ advanced mat program to match his original physical therapy techniques. Props will
be used. Wear workout clothes, no shoes
required, bring your yoga mat.

Tribal dance is a group
dance performed with your troupe sisters.
It builds a connection with troupe mates
through a vocabulary of movements that
you use to communicate. It is focused on
the dancers moving together and is less
centered on performing or looking good
for an audience. This is for students with
no belly dance experience. At the beginner level, you’ll be dancing in your very
first class! This class will provide a foundation in fast and slow tribal moves at a
comfortable pace in a supportive environment. We’ll focus on posture, isolations, and layering moves on top of each
other, but most of all we’ll be having fun
and making friends.

Description: In this hands-on-course,
we’ll strip digital photography down to
the basics with an emphasis on shooting
in manual mode for maximum control.
We’ll explore the other shooting modes as
well to give you a well-rounded understanding of the menus and controls on
your DSLR. Learning which controls matter
and which really don’t will free you up to
actively monitor and control the three
most important elements of photography,
Shutter, Aperture, and ISO, right through
your viewfinder in real time. Please bring your
camera, camera manual, and full charged

Do you have a will? Despite the overwhelming need for this vital
legal document, most individuals delay in
having their Last Will prepared. Do you
know what will happen to your assets and
your children if you die without a will? The
State will dictate who gets your assets
and who will take care of your minor children. Wouldn’t you rather be in charge of
those extremely important matters? This
course will provide you with the elements
and information you need to know when
having a Will drafted by an Attorney. You

what turmoil could occur if you die without having a Will, and why attempting to
create your own Will online is a very bad
idea. Each participant will leave the session with peace of mind knowing that
he/she will receive (within two weeks of
the session) his/her own professionally
drafted Will by a local, experienced attorney. Why put this matter off any
longer? Now is the time.

Description: Social Security is fairly simple provided you worked long enough to
earn the required number of quarters and
were never married. However, when you
add two-income couples and/or divorce
into the mix- both historically high among
baby boomers- the decisions become
very complicated. The problem is; making
the wrong choices can result in less income for the rest of your life. “Securing
Social Security” walks you through common, but surprisingly complex situations including: How being married, divorced or
widowed impacts your benefits, how to
give your Social Security check a government-guaranteed boost, and how benefits for one spouse are affected based on
when and how the other spouse files. This
presentation will educate you on the
many decisions involved in claiming Social Security, as well as their consequences, and provide strategies to
maximize the benefits received.

Description: Do you own a small business or work for yourself? Are you aware
of the retirement plans available to you
as a business owner and their advantages? Often small business owners and
sole proprietors feel they cannot afford a
retirement plan but you could potentially
be losing money if you do not have a
plan in place. Retirement planning can
seem overwhelming and being a business
owner gives you more options to consider. During this workshop, we will review
the many benefits of instituting a retirement plan and the various options available. By having the proper retirement
plan in place, you can potentially maximize your retirement savings, reduce
taxes, and attract and retain quality employees. Topics reviewed include benefits
of offering a retirement plan through your
business, types of plans available to the
small and medium size business, business
costs of offering a plan and any potential
ongoing requirements or responsibilities to
maintain the plan. Types of plans discussed will include 401k, SIMPLE IRA, SEP
IRA, Individual IRA’s. No products will be

hole is a game that has been called
many things, Corn Toss, Bean Bag, Bean
Toss, Soft Horseshoes or Indiana Horseshoes. Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to
horseshoes except you use wooden
boxes called cornhole platforms and
corn bags instead of horseshoes and
metal stakes. Contestants take turns
pitching their corn bags at the cornhole
platform until a contestant reaches the
score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole
scores 3 points, while one on the platform
scores 1 point. Scoring can be swift and
the lead may change hands several
times in a match before the winner is decided. The game is generally played tournament style with an individual being
named the champion at the end of the

Family Golf Nights are offered every

the most popular activities offered at
Honeybrook Golf Club. We have specific family tees set on the golf course,
with a matching scorecard. The green
kids tee markers are set from 100 to
around 200 yards. Parents are encouraged to have their children use the
green kid’s tees. If children use these
tees, it is much more fun, encouraging,
and makes the junior’s experience a
positive one. It’s a fantastic way for
families to spend time together, and
learn the game of golf. There will also
be a kids menu available in the Greenside Grill during family nights. If you
have your own golf clubs, feel free to

DARC is partnering with Parisi Speed School
to promote Health and Fitness for all ages and abilities!
Parents, athletes, and those looking for a fun way to keep fit!
Welcome to Parisi Speed School!
Located inside of United Sports
1426 Marshallton-Thorndale Road
610-466-0333
Downingtown, PA 19335

Programs for all ages and abilities…get active! You do not need to be an athlete…just have a desire to be
fit! Even if the kids "think" they are not athletes, they can be rest assured this fitness program is not just for
athletes. We focus on the development of self confidence with every young person.
Until an athlete knows his or her current level of ability, it is impossible to realistically recommend programming, create goals and monitor progress. The Parisi Evaluation is critical to every athlete in our program
for four main reasons: Assesses the current level of an athlete’s ability; Allows proper placement in our
variety of programming; Provides individualized coaching and focus; Records and monitors progress toward
success. The Parisi Evaluation is mandatory for every athlete who enters the Parisi program. During the
evaluation, athletes are taught our signature Active Dynamic Warm-Up, are examined during our Running
Analysis procedure, and tested in a battery of physical speed and strength movements. After the evaluation,
every athlete and parent meets individually with the Evaluator to review the results and select the appropriate
program that fits the athlete’s needs.
For more information on these programs please visit www.parisischool.com or contact Eric Mitchell
at [email protected] or call at 610-466-0333.
The Training for Warriors (TFW) system is a fitness program originally created for some of the best combat
athletes in the world more than 15 years ago. Over that time, it was recognized that the training methods of the
TFW system can benefit ANYONE looking to lose fat, build muscle and FEEL GOOD!
What separates the TFW system from other training programs is its holistic approach to training. Although TFW
encompasses detailed warm ups, speed training, strength training, endurance training, flexibility work and
nutrition all of which are based on a comprehensive evaluation process, perhaps the most important component
of the system is its motivational approach.
The training modalities are all applied based on the 12 guiding principles that are the philosophical foundation
of the TFW system. As a result of this principle-centered approach.
