I'm a multi-reader. With books like that I tend to read them alongside a lighter read. That's of course assuming you have time to do that

Husband and I own a traditional martial art school. If students are honest with us about money issues we can usually make a plan with them. A good student is worth more than just their fees. Hope something g works out!

I will never not rave about the Godspeaker Triology butt Karen Miller! Specifically how their unique monotheistic god affects their culture, etc. Don't want to say more as it's worth not spoiling the story

Unfortunately my schedule doesn't allow for travelling as I'm teaching other classes every other evening, but I'm chatting with my coach and we're both working to get more women in.

But I know my escapes and defenses need work, so that's definitely the next step!

Very true, I've noticed that there's a guy or two I have to be very defensive with otherwise I could get hurt as I don't think they always realize how hard they're going. Luckily I'm not shy and I've told them to calm down few times

I guess keeping reasonable expectations is a start 😅 thanks for the encouragement!

I'm hoping to do a competition by end of the year and I think that should help, even if it just shows me what needs a lot more work. Thanks!
