Self-defense
Saturday I had my first self defense class and the community center. It wasn't what I expected, but it was SO MUCH FUN! The instructor is a 4th degree black belt and he has two 1st degree black belt assistants. I was expecting to punch a bag or something, but they had us doing punches, kicks, blocks, and rolls. Since I have never done any karate (Billy Blanks doesn't really count) I was trying not to laugh the entire time. It was really a lot of fun, though. I got a real kick out of yelling, punching, blocking, and kicking. I kept thinking about karate kid "paint the fence, sand the floor". The rolls were just hilarious. I have 9 more classes and I'm totally pumped. Everyone should do this!

How fun! When i was younger i took a karate class and got my yellow belt with 2 red stripes on it. It was fun, but i dont' think i could do it again! Good for you for doing it! That is great! :)
That sounds like fun!! Do you take the class by yourself? I definitely want to try that in the future.
I'm currently taking the class with 5 other girls. One lady is 63 years old! But, I'm not doing it with anyone I know. I just signed up! If anyone wants to join, there are 9 more classes (9-10:30am on Sat) and they prorate the cost for anyone joining later...
