My self defense trainer.

[Rational passion]

Not really sure if this is supposed to go here. But it seemed like the most appropriate place to put it.

I've been going to this self defense class for the last year and a half. It's not a big class, but what we've learned is definitely effective.

But that's not really the point of this thread. I made it to talk about the instructor. I've gotten to know her pretty well since startign the class. (I'm one of the few that volunteers to help clean up the gym when we're done) and recently, we started comparing artwork as well.

Since joining this site, I've scanned through the various art threads, and I recognized one of her pictures from the old thread "I drew it!" I asked her about it, she laughed, and said she'd forgotten all about this place.

Earlier today I convinced her to come back, since not only do we need more girls here, but another thread encouraged us to contact old members and tell them about the name change.

On another, more personal note. Seeing her with her wife and children has made me reconsider the arguments for monogamy and parenting.
