ISDS Chattanooga is not actively marketing services to the surrounding communities. My training space and travel range is limited and if I actively marketted or advertised services I would be overwhelmed with potential clients.
ISDS is available for training services but currently with limitations that make commercially offering services an unwise strategy.
For more information about ISDS services and details about me, the owner, please visit the following sites:
My Martial Arts Blog
My Youtube Channel
My Yahoo Answers Page
ISDS Facebook Fanpage
Feel free to contact me at ISDSchattanooga@gmail.com for further questions and information. I am confident in my ability to meet your self-defense needs, whether it be through my services or by referring you to a commercial organization locally who can give that which you are seeking.
Lastly, visit ISDS Chattanooga's official web site for a comprehensive list of services offered.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely, Sean.

Projects in progress:
During this period I have worked on marketing research, establishing business networking contacts among the Chattanooga martial arts and self-defense service providers, writing lesson plans, and finding community service and charity events opportunities in which to participate.
I am working on compiling a complete and up to date catalogue of available martial arts schools and instructors available in the Chattanooga area. This catalogue will be used to help clients who are interested in training in the martial arts find a school that fits their needs and wants.
I am working on a complete list of services available through ISDS and a price list for those services. Services will include education, training, consultation, and referrals.
Reason for starting ISDS:
To whom it may concern,
My name is Sean Carrigan and I am the owner of Integrated Self Defense Services. The idea and inspiration for starting this business came from a combination of several events. First, my daughter Madison was born and her arrival was a joy and a wonder to myself and my wife. Madison recently celebrated her first birthday. During that first year of my infant daughter's life I grew and matured in my perspective on life and my role in this world. The love I felt for my daughter and the duty I felt as her father caused me a great shift in behavior and priorities. I became more concerned about the community and world around me. I worried more about our family's financial outlook in the future. And I examined my own life and found it lacking in the necessary direction needed to provide the best for my daughter and my family.
Second, a co-worker of mine approached me and asked about my martial arts training. She commented on how at peace and calm I seemed to be in my daily work life and thought perhaps it was my training and work outs that helped me maintain a relatively stress free attitude at work. I had been talking to my co-workers about looking for part-time work to supplement my family income and had expressed my frustration in being unable to find a part-time job that had a flexible enough schedule to allow me to spend time with my family. My coworker suggested I train people in self-defense and said she and a couple of her friends would love to take lessons from me. I listened to her suggestion and thought it over for quite some time before coming to any decision.
After several weeks of thought and prayer, I began to form the idea for ISDS. I wanted to make the world a better place for my daughter. I wanted to provide for my family. And I wanted to serve my Church and my community. As I thought about all these things I wanted to do I began to understand I had the skills and experience necessary to provide a service to the community, and that service is self-defense education and training.
Through self-defense education and training I can do some small part to influence people towards the goal of making the community and world around us better and safer. And no matter how small a part my influence plays in the world, it is still a lot more than I was doing before.
I started training in the martial arts when I was three years old. It formed my identity and shaped my life as I grew to be a man. I served in the U.S. Navy for six years, and during my service I was trained in physical security and tactics. I realized my love for and training in the martial arts and the military was not only great experience but also a gift because I would enjoy every day I spent operating a business that revolved around self-defense and martial arts.
I am very excited to start ISDS and have enjoyed every moment I have spent working on the ISDS mission. I've already met interesting people, learned new things, and experienced new parts of the community that I never knew about. I look forward to the future of ISDS and all the adventure it will bring.
Thank you for your time and your support,
Sincerely,
Sean Carrigan,
Integrated Self Defense Services.

Police Blotter: Taxi Driver Assaulted, Robbed
posted April 27, 2010
Police said a cab driver was assaulted and robbed at a car wash on Rossville Boulevard.
Andrew Dame of All American Taxi said he was vacuuming out his cab at the car wash at 4900 Rossville Blvd.
He said he was leaning inside the vehicle when he suddenly saw a shadow looming over him. He was then struck in the head with some type of blunt object and knocked to the ground.
He said an older white man jumped on him and pinned him down, while demanding money.
He gave the robber his money clip that contained $15, then the man ran away.
The cab driver said he heard the robber toss the money clip, so he retrieved it nearby - minus the $15.

Police said a clerk at the Kangaroo convenience store at 3740 Tennessee Ave. was robbed at gunpoint.
The clerk said a black male armed with a silver handgun demanded all the money in the cash register. He handed over $162, then the man ran toward the nearby Bi-Lo.
He was described as in his 20s, 5'5" and 210 pounds. He was wearing red pants, a green jacket, red tennis shoes and a red ear flap with fur on it.
Bi-Lo employees reported seeing two black males run behind the store, then go off in two different directions.
The same pair had been behind the store prior to the holdup, and the one who carried out the robbery asked a truck driver for a light for his cigarette.

Rose Green said someone broke into her house on E. 4th Street while she was worshipping at church.
The burglar got through a side window and took her TV, XBox, IPod and phone.

A PlayStation was also removed, but it was found on the street outside the home.

Attemped Child Rape, Abduction In Chattooga
Written by Louis Lee
April 21, 2010 – 1:55 pm
The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Department is investigating an attempted rape and child abduction. It happened Monday night around 7 pm. Investigators say a silver, late model Ford Expedition pulled up to a young girl who was jogging near her home.
They said two men in the truck pulled her into the vehicle and tried to tear her clothes off.
The girl was able to fight them off … then her attackers pushed her from the vehicle onto the pavement.
The late model silver Ford Expedition had either dark gray or black trim around the bottom, running boards on the sides, and a dark cloth interior that was very clean.
The vehicle had a Georgia license plate.
The driver is described as a white male, bald head, wearing a long sleeve dark shirt and a gold ring on his right hand, possible a class ring.
The other man is a white male, dark hair, military-style cut with bangs. Both men appeared to be in their thirties.
