Oh yay! I totally get it. You’ve done awesome stuff. Self control is part of it. Got a few broken bones and a whole lot of bruises due to my fault and others (lack of control) There were three women in my school and on the training floor nobody made amends for your gender or size. I feel like I earned every belt based on my ability and guts. I took that energy into my profession and held my own in a board room of men, who tried to place a “ glass ceiling” on my professional journey. Eventually, I was given the opportunity to run a women’s group (women in transition) where I hoped I was able to encourage the group and grow in my personal life. So, who says we don’t train everyday, huh? I’m pleased to meet you, Ginger. Thank you for sharing your story. You may have heard of Professor Emperado. He was instrumental in establishing Kajukenbo and may have meet your instructor. Small world

Wow! What accomplished women you are in martial arts! I tried a few classes in the 1970s when I worked in the Tucson Police Department. I learned a lot, but never really used the physical skills. I do think it made me more sure of myself and more assertive in my career and relationships. As a former HR executive, I had to use many skills to achieve good things for employees and not let the powerful (men) keep lowering benefits and wages. Thanks for reminding me where I learned much of what it takes to compete honorably.
