It really made me appreciate my body more, what it can DO over what it looks like, and I learned a lot of useful things. I say go for it!<BR/>Take care of yourself,<BR/>CammyCammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-56790171465369686592008-06-22T14:07:00.000-05:002008-06-22T14:07:00.000-05:00No matter the circumstance I think, as women, we a...No matter the circumstance I think, as women, we all need to know how to defend ourselves. Not only to build our confidence, but to know that we stand a chance, if only by surprise. I also think that survival courses help with confidence. I grew up in a place completely different than where I live today. My husband insisted that we all, including our children, learn how to survive in the desert. It helps me feel safer overall. hugs to you.Waterrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422788758188500128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-88672270704496803482008-06-22T10:55:00.000-05:002008-06-22T10:55:00.000-05:00Self defense classes can be fun, I've only been to...Self defense classes can be fun, I've only been to one because of time clashes with work and classes but I laughed a lot and left feeling powerful.<BR/><BR/>They're worth a try.<BR/><BR/>Vicky XXXVickyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441940384579516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-2055665738552778162008-06-22T10:34:00.000-05:002008-06-22T10:34:00.000-05:00I think it's a brilliant idea!

It also helps you to feel more comfortable and strong within your own body, and helps you deal with past victimization. It really would be just the thing for you.Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469154981286184462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-29124810541993691432008-06-21T20:53:00.000-05:002008-06-21T20:53:00.000-05:00Thought of the Day: "It is our attitude at the be...Thought of the Day:<BR/><BR/> "It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which more than anything else will affect its successful outcome." - William James<BR/><BR/>Have a good day!!<BR/><BR/>LoveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-88129878229022052862008-06-21T18:20:00.000-05:002008-06-21T18:20:00.000-05:00Angel, I think its a good idea to try a self-defen...Angel, I think its a good idea to try a self-defence course! For one thing, its exercise, which is always good, right? Secondly, it will help change your perception of yourself, the way you move and how you relate to others.<BR/>I started doing Muay Thai kickboxing in 2000. At first I was quite confronted by somone sending their fist towards my face. But that is mostly because I wasn't used to it. Once it became a more regular thing, and I knew what to do in that situation, it really helped me to overcome a lot of my inner anger.<BR/>Give it a go - I'm sure it has to be helpful for you!<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596522382677342386.post-35327533892516318622008-06-21T14:32:00.000-05:002008-06-21T14:32:00.000-05:00It doesn't hurt to try it..if it works great if no...It doesn't hurt to try it..if it works great if not then at least you had the experience..:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
