Self defense today rocked. We went back over the six different weapons your hand could be, and then we got to hit each other. We used matting, of course, to soften the blows, but we got to punch each other. I paired off with this very tiny girl - very nice - but very small. She probably only came up to my shoulder, if that. I'm 5'7", or 5'8" according to my parents this past weekend (I was standing next to my mom who is 5'8" and everyone one couldn't believe that I was as tall if not taller than she was). This girl may have been 5'0", if that. So, I was somewhat hesitant to punch the mat, but I did. We practiced defensive posturing, and then how to strike with our lead fist, and then do a quick reverse punch, the old 1-2. And then two strikes with our lead to the head and a reverse punch to the chest. And then a 1-2 and then a back hand to the chest. It was fun. I feel somewhat strong, although my first two knuckles on either hand aren't going to forgive me anytime soon.

Her hobbies are reading, drawing, watching movies, telling jokes, cooking, singing in the shower, and impersonating accents (badly).
