Check out this article at the Mercer Island Patch http://mercerisland.patch.com/articles/martial-arts-momma
All 5'3" of petite Mercer Island resident Jan Eveleth are poised on the balls of her feet, ready to strike at her opponent's padded gloves. With an ear-piercing yell, she launches herself into the air, feet first, slamming the gloves, and her sparring partner, nearly through the…

Most people don’t ask me this question outright, but I know they are thinking it: Does self-defense really work?

Hello, I spent the last week sick with the flu. Man was that a drag, the only thing good that came from being sick was that I lost some more weight. I am down to 214lbs. now. Now it is time to build muscle
I had a good time in class Thursday, I wanted to do more, but baby steps right now.
I will do more next week. See you in class!

This last week was taken up with illness in our home, my wife was ill and I spent time taking care of her. Happy to report that she is doing much better. Not so happy I seem to have caught what she had.
On Thursday however I was able to be at Jan's test for her black belt, I was so proud of her. A good time to be sure.
As soon as I feel better I will be back at it. I hope to be back this Tuesday.
