University of Man offers defense course
By CYNTHIA SHIELDS
of the UP staff
The University of Man is offering a self-defense course
for women.
The class will be taught by Alan Kitay and will deal with
the practical methods of self-defense.
Scheduled to start on Oct. 2, the class will be held Mon-
day through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Registration will be until Oct. 13, and interested persons
should go to the Setzer Student Center activities area.
Kitay has had 16 years of experience in the martial arts
and has taught anti-rape seminars at the University of
Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa., Slippery Rock State College,
Slippery Rock. Pa., and Pennsylvania State University,
University Park, Pa.

Nelson Freire
The Beaumont Music
Commission opens its 1978-
79 season Oct. 4 with the ap-
pearance of pianist Nelson
Freire at 8 p.m. in the Jef-
ferson Theatre.
The Brazilian-born
pianist made his recital
debut at age 4, and at 12
studied with Bruno Zab-
derhaofer in Viennz for two
years.
“Time” magazine has
called Freire “one of the
most exciting pianists of
this or any other age,” and
has compared his
technique to “the heroic
perfection of Horowitz.”
in cooperation with the Port Neches Park and Recreation
Department.
Kitay commented on the class saying, “We’re not going
to emphasize the art forms but we are going to emphasize
the self-defense methods that work and do not take years
to perfect.”
According to Kitay, Aiki-Jitsu will be emphasized in the
course. These throws and kicks coordinate the mind and
body and allow a person to use a larger amount of their
potential strength.
“Most women shy away from the martial arts because
they feel they haven’t the strength to perform, where, in
actuality, the arts of Jiu-Jitsu and Aiki-Jitsu are
developed to use the other person’s strength against them.
Thus, smaller people have the advantage over larger
people.
“More and more women are finding they can perform
and can adequately defend themselves while at the same
time improving their coordination, posture and all-round;
physical condition,” Kitay said.
