Wow, Terri! You go, girl! I've dabbled in martial arts a little, but never competed. (Quick side story- when my son Daniel was 14 we use to "cross-train" for wrestling by stick-fighting in the garage. I made two bo-staffs and we would spar from time to time. I taught him to remain calm and centered, even while receiving blows. (No, Ladies, I did not beat him, lol). He went on to dabble in martial arts himself, and 6 years later a group of MS-13 gang-members jumped him in the front yard. These guys were 20-35 and thought he was someone else. They made a bad mistake. They called him out of the house, circled him, and ten minutes later when the cops arrived, 2 guys were still on the ground with broken bones. The others had fled, merely bruised. Daniel was still standing, unharmed. Daniel's mom, my first wife, said something like, "I guess your special workouts with him weren't such a bad idea, after all." Sorry for the rambling story)
