What would you do? I couldn't think of anything except letting go to avoid a possible confrontation. Any ideas? " My first advice, and this is what I explain to ladies in a self defense class is to hold their purse with the strap crossing their body. In other words the strap may be on the left shoulder but the purse is hanging on the right side. This tends to deter most purse snatchers as it would be too much of a struggle to get the purse. Just an opinion.

They teach u respect, humility, courtesy but do not practice it themselves? Donna - -- NO!! My cycle doesn't leak!

With your comments, and taking a week off, I've had time to reflect. Most of it is that I've lost track of my goals and reasons for taking martial arts. Over the last couple of days I've been working on that and taking notes. I'll let you know how it turns out :) Another part of it is that life in general has been stressful lately. My wife just changed jobs. My parents just retired. And I started taking a class at the local community college. My wife will get used to her new job, my parents will settle into their groove, and class... well, it won't last forever :) And something just occured to me out of the blue. I just recently made it to 6th Kup. The rest of the class are 10th-8th Kup, or 2nd Kup to 2nd Dan. I just realized how isolated I've felt in class lately. The 10th-8th Kup group have their clique (and I was in the same clique when I was just starting), and the red and black belts have their clique. They're not elitist cliques, but they exist nonetheless. And it's hard when it feels like you're on your own. Anyway, I've decided that one week off is enough, and that I'm going to get back in the groove and go the the next class. And realizing that the feeling of isolation will only last a finite ammount of time makes it easier. And the rest of my life is settling down. Plus, I bough a couple of computer games so I can get some serious cave time ;) (read Men are From Mars and Women are From Venus to understand that last one).

Hello, A friend of mine is having a housewarming party. I'm looking for suggestions for a MA related housewarming gift. Suggestions, anyone? Preferably, it should be something I can obtain in a week. :-) Kamsahamnida!
