Self Defense Seminar

Today I got up and did my normal Saturday morning routine, consisting of black belt class, teaching, and Jason's Deli for lunch (They brought back the salt and vinegar chips, y'all!). I went to the self-defense seminar, and it was very helpful for many of the black belt self-defenses. It answered a lot of the questions I had about them and showed me more of the smaller details that are hard to pick up on. Even as long as I've been doing them, and as much as I believe I know these self-defenses very well, it is a reminder that there is still a lot more to practice and a lot to keep in mind when I practice these self defenses every day, especially when I regularly teach them.
