Hey who is your husband and where is he training now? I trained at the same studio as you. Paul Gerard, Larry Kongika, Terry Hicks, Harry Sanders. If you remember all those people, check this out. I train with Tommy Chavies and so does Chris Woodhouse. You have to remember them. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you anything about Mr. Chavies, and you will probably remember Chris Woodhouse as a blue/purple at the old studio. He just got his black belt this month from Mr. Chavies. Anyways, interesting coincidence… Pretty cool though.

So does the blue belt come in leather with a big shiny buckle? cause that would be hot.

Everything happens for a reason, it’s always good to be prepared for any kind of self-defense situation. Also, I think that belt is something that anyone would be proud of.

Though she does not give herself credit, not many people can say they made it to blue belt in Kenpo.

The ability to perform self defense while under pressure is second nature to people that have gone this far and though she sells herself short, martial arts has made her a STRONGER more CONFIDENT person than when I first met her.

Due to the nature of Kenpo, the training requirements after blue are a little bit more “hardcore” than other martial arts and as an instructor of mine once said, “There, on more than once occasion, was blood on the mat.”

She took what she learned and I know she has the ability to defend herself should some jerkoff try to assault her. For that reason in itself, I am glad she went as far as she did.

Good ole martial arts, the one thing that still gives my brother the ability to beat my ass. You might know of his teacher, Cass Magda.

I remember when I was little I took TaeKwon-Do. I believe I quit just before I was a black belt, and it was probably a good thing, too. A black belt, afterall, would have simply given me license to kick things, and being that I was young, there were things at my line of sight that other guys just wouldn’t want to have kicked. If that weren’t enough, I don’t think the world could’ve handled the TaeKwon-Do wrath of a 12yr-old me. Yep, it’s a scary, scary thought.
