lol - you are right about that.
Being a mom is tough work (not speaking from the mother perspective, but having put my mother through it all, I think I am still justified in saying that). My instructor's wife still trains, but her time is often cut short and she is often inturrupted by their son during class.
Also - when she first found out she was pregnant, they actually had a meeting at the dojo to discuss it with the students so that everyone would know and take extra care when it came to her training.
I think there is a general disapproval for women to be involved in anything seen as so "violent" as martial arts. My own mother still doesn't really accept it that I train even though I'm going on my fifth year of training. She just thinks it is inappropriate. When my older brother did high school wrestling though, she never said a word about it.
Does it sound as biased to you as it does to me?
