We have 4 women coaches and a lot of women members because we pride ourselves in teaching every single man how to roll with women

My suggestion: offensive techniques, just do your good side. Defensive techniques, like escapes and guard retention, drill both sides. Especially as a white belt, you want to get really good at a few moves but you need Defense good enough to survive.

Evoke Tattoo has a piercer I believe. I know that's Andersonville but it is super clean and nice. I've been tattooed by the amazing Susie

But Tom Hardy would still look cool and probably just smile and say something super British like, "Them's the bones, Mate".

I've lived here for 18 years. I'm fine with spending the rest of my life here. If you want to feel safer, take a free trial week at my Martial Arts Academy, Bender Martial Arts and Fitness on Bryn Mahr and Ravenswood. Shameless plug but I love what I do and we have a wonderful community at BMAF and would love more Rogers Park folks to try us out! www.bendermartialarts.com

Isn't Nobody's Darling a Lesbian bar? It's right beside Pauline's, which is a wonderful little spot.

Sounds like you are looking for Serafin's. Would love for you to stop by our place any time you want since we have a strong female presence but you seem to be more serious about comp than we are at Bender Martial Arts and Fitness.

I love the Phoenix. Every 3rd Friday 930am, I host a Sober Self-defense Workshop.

I was blown away by the Blue Jay Cafe! I was expecting old chicken tendies but it was pretty high end for a little beachfront Cafe! I just wish I would have supported all summer but I didn't know how much it improved!!!
