Yay! Thanks Glosslizard! I think this will help get me in better shape AND help me get over people getting up in my grill. Maybe one day I will even be able to defeat my husband when he gets all tricky with his fancy kicks and what not.

HA HA HA, don’t you love “Beast”?! I grew up in the East Bay!

I’ll ask Sensei to see if she has any recommendations and let you know! I’m stoked that you’re interested! I love sharing this with people!

LOL! East-bay! Unny-fay!

Tis true. I am not feeling as inspired by hip hop dance as I used to. Plus, I dunno how useful it is in an emergency, unless it’s emergency breakdancing!

I know your in the east bay (”beast” in pig latin), but would you know of any good studios out here in marin county? If not then no worries, I’ll do some Nancy Drew investigation this weekend!

I don’t think it’s a go-Jackie-Chan-on-a-group-of-bad-guys kind of thing, but I have gotten some practical stuff out of it. For example, in practice, I now find myself routinely blocking potential strikes toward the face, even though we don’t do full-contact strikes. Also, I feel more in command of myself on a day-to-day basis, and feel like I wouldn’t freeze up in an emergency. Finally, when I walk down the street, I can feel a confidence in my walk which IMHO would lead most troublemakers to seek an easier target.

Any martial (I wrote “marital”, ha!) art would provide these skills, I think, but since I love aikido, I stick with it, and that’s the real key!
