That is awesome you shared self defense wrist escapes. It is a very important movement in self defense so they cannot be taken away. I hope they remember it if they ever have to protect themselves. Sharing your knowledge can help people who want to learn.

You really took the ball and ran with this! Thank you for spreading our karate out into the community and teaching self-defense! Being able to host a class like this on short notice is a testament to your understanding of the techniques and to your many hours of participating in similar classes that we have hosted over the years. Nicely done Olivia-San!

Congratulations on placing first in the kata tournament. It is a great picture of you and Avi with your metals. I have competed in many tournaments.

That sounds like a really positive uplifting book to read. I agree that happiness comes from one’s self. Money and material things cannot make someone truly happy. Kindness is an excellent way to feel joy and happiness.
