Hi everyone,

I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine went very well.  On Saturday Kurt Frankenburg, owner of Freedom School of Martial Arts and I put on a fitness and self-defense clinic.  It was a fun time.  We had a good turnout and the ladies were awesome.  During the fitness clinic the ladies were swinging kettlebells and beating tires with a sledgehammer amongst other crazy stuff.  We had a discussion on nutrition and cleared up some of the myths.  We also talked about the myth of women bulking up.  This is always a major concern for females.  Just to make sure it is clear, 99% of women will not bulk up.  There is always the exception to the rule.  It was fun to see how much they enjoyed it and how willing everyone was to try new things.  Lots was learned and lots of fun had.

The self-defense clinic was a hit also.  The ladies were taught various self-defense moves from punches and kicks to a demonstration of some defensive moves to use if someone has you on the ground.  The most impressive part for me was to watch the ladies break boards with their bare hands.  Just so you know this was their first time to ever do something like that.  It was awesome to see.

I will post video of the clinic on Wednesday.
