Self Defense

One of our members had this to say about a self defense seminar held at the dojo:
The seminar connected training to being attacked; that's useful. The scenarios jolted people to some degree, and we had to act while we were in that "jolted" state. That's useful too. I can't say how the training would affect me if I were actually "woofed on" and attacked, but I'm really glad I took the class. I think it's necessary to focus training at times on the possibility of nasty people confronting and attacking us. In a perfect world we could relax and dance all the time. So, it was a good experience for me. So is regular, positive training with my friends. Our typical classes seem even more valuable now after Peyton's instruction. I look forward to those classes with a fresh enthusiasm.
