The thing I found most interesting was how few women showed up. We talked about it in the class, and general concensus was that the area where we live is low-crime, mums-and-dads suburbs and women feel too safe to think about SD.
Anyway, hopefully there will be a few more this week.
I am really loving it though. I get really pumped doing it, and come home bouncing off the ceiling.
I think what amazed me the most is that I am really enjoying the punching, kneeing, kicking, palm strike etc
I am sooo far from a gung-ho type femme it is not funny, and this really was the last thing I thought I would actually enjoy.
I really went into it because I knew I should have some basic SD skills, but I was really focussed on going in, learning all that I could, and walking away with knowledge and confidence. I kind of looked at it like a uni subject, not necessarily enjoyable, but something you have to know.
Instead, I am having the time of my life and I reckon even now, were I to fall into fighting stance, it would make most men at least think twice about taking me on.
