Ironmill and Manlihood Rallying to Clean Up Community Garden

Ironmill and Manlihood are rallying a group to help remove rotting garden timbers, and other much needed labor at the garden as a part of their Rise X Up campaign. Lou Costa of Ironmill said that this is an effort to build a sense of pride in the community. “The Project Pride garden was an initiative started by the City of Bradford, and this cleanup is a step that we thought was a great way for us to do our part in the community.”

Costa invites the whole community out to help reclaim the space, which has fallen into disrepair. “A little elbow grease and a fresh coat of paint can make a difference,” said Costa, “We hope this is the initiative that can help to kick start in people a resurrection of pride in their neighborhoods.”

Self Defense Seminar

Local Men Gather for Self Defense Seminar

Local men will gather this Saturday evening for a self-defense seminar in Bradford, PA. The event will be taught by local karate instructor, Michael Miller, and will teach basic elements of self-protection, including strikes, denses, and restraints.

The event is sponsored by Manlihood.com, and is meant to equip men to better protect themselves and those around them. Manlihood founder Josh Hatcher says, “At Manlihood, we’re all about helping men be better men. I believe that includes learning how to be a protector, and how to stay safe against an attacker.”

Hatcher’s website has gathered a large following of men, and offers a podcast, and an online Facebook group with 1,300 men from around the country. “Men want to do stuff. Not just talk about stuff. So this past year, we’ve had a number of local events where men can connect and have activities that help them build camaraderie, as well as learn skills that every man should know.”

Miller is an international martial arts instructor and self-defense expert who has been involved with martial arts for over twenty-five years. He holds a 5th degree black belt in American Kenpo, a modern practical self-defense system.

The seminar is open to men 16 and up and will cost $8, and will be held at Miller’s Kenpo Karate Dojo on East Main Street in Bradford, PA from 5-6PM on Saturday.
