We did it! We did it! We did it!
*ahem*
Earlier this evening my 9-year-old daughter and I kicked the snot out of an evil attacker.
Well, OK - he isn't really evil, he just plays one on TV.
It was the culmination of our women's self defense class from the Y. A visiting sensei dressed himself in padding from head to toe and "attacked" each member of the class multiple times.
It was wild. The adrenaline really gets pumping even though it is pretend. You could see people forgetting to breathe while they were throwing punches or kicks, forgetting to run away after they disabled the attacker, etc. Nobody froze up, though, and everybody remembered to yell "NO!" and "BACK OFF!!".
And my daughter did great! I thought she would be too afraid or freaked out by the situation but she remembered what she learned in class. She knew what to do, and for a little shit she has a pretty good groin kick!
Yea!!!!
(I'm very proud even though I hope to hell she never has to use that training.)
