More Craziness, More Accomplishments
So, at the moment, it looks like I’m able to manage only one post a week … sort of. That will have to do for the time being, as there is just a lot going on. Though I may come back and fill in some posts about things that have happened in the past week […]
You Do What You Train To
I took a self-defence seminar hosted by my karate school on May 1. I enjoyed it immensely and learned a lot that will help me as I advance through the ranks. Gained a little confidence on some of the basic skills, and got a few pre-set sequences to click. But I also learned something very […]
