Those who dismiss your interest in martial arts as a joke don't understand martial arts. Dere is right, there are many women of all sizes and ages that are skilled various martial arts. There are at least two excellent female teachers here. Both of them compete in several different paths of study.

When I was fencing, I wanted to take up kendo. An injury sidelined that, but since then I done a little bit of Tai Chi and plan to phase in more of it as I phase out some of my dance classes.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
