Not too much new: It's been a busy week (what week isn't a busy week these days?), with getting ready for the opening of the new dojo space, visiting family, work, and training. Haven't had much time for rest or reflection, so I took some this morning and posted to my Martial Musings blog. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

I've been running a series of self-defense classes at the Carroll Center for the Blind this month. For the last three weeks, I've been working with a group of about 25 teenagers there. An amazing, inspiring, and insightful group of kids -- what a wonderful opportunity! Working with them stretches me, as I have to think and teach more creatively. I'm impressed by their maturity — and their ability to generate power while practicing physical resistance techniques!
