Self defense!

We had an enrichment night last night at church. It was lots of fun. Brother Deaver, who works for the SBI came and taught us some defenses that we can use in most curcumstances. I actually enjoy learning how to hurt someone. When I was in college I took a self defense class and loved it, but have never had the chance to use it. that is the bad part about it all I think. When it actually happens to you , will you be able to respond since you have had little or no practice. Ever since I have taken the classes in collegeI am always aware of my surroundings and I have drilled my kids a numerous amount of times because when we moved to raleigh I was terrified. I think they know what to do and I know what to do ,but I think it would be helpful if we had someone that would actually try to attack us and see how we react. So mabey we can get Brother Deaver to do this , just to test us. You know, catch us off guard and see what happens. Mabey even Brother welendorf would do it as well. I mean if bro. deaver is willing to pepper spray himself time and time again for his classes we might be able to talk him in to it. What do you think ladies? oh yea and where were some of you last night we missed you. Everybody needs self defense. Bro deaver actually gave Nancy the real from behind choke to see if she could breathe. she was a trooper and succeded and then she told me she biked to the church which ment she would be biking home in the dark. crazy woman!!

I've always liked learning how to defend myself- it's good to know these things! I was looking forward to going, but I went and watched the Eschedor's baby for a few hours so they could go out on a date :-)
