I see a lot of good reviews on different classes. I'm sure there are different teaching styles, methods, etcetera.
I think I want to take a GOAL class for starters, and most likely a legal type class through GOAL as well. I just read a good review on the "Phil Donahue" (I guess this is not the talk show host), and have heard good things about Jim Conway and NEShooters, as well as Bettencourt, and of course Ayoob.
What I am wondering is if there is any order of which I might want to do these in, and if so, what that might be. Again, I would likely start with the basic training through GOAL, and proceed from there.
The other thing is to start more locally, which to me is Central Massachusetts (again, GOAL comes to mind!).
Finally, I am wondering if it would be possible to bring a class to my club. I know GOAL has run Women On Target at our club, and there are hunter classes and pin shoots, but I'm not so sure we've ever had self defense type classes. Is this something which instructors might do? If I could help arrange it, does that get me a break in the class fee (not the reason for doing it, but it helps).
Thanks.
