Mental Growth through MA

[GranFire]

Glancing at our organization's newsletter I was composing this picture in my mind to submit for publication: All our adult female students, from the rank (no pun intended) White Belt newbie to the Black Belt wannabe instructors...

WE have an ecclectic bunch: A reining Miss Senior Citizen, a winner of an ultimate makeover contest and a former regional Bodybuilding Champ...tall and short, slender and solid, timid and brash...

I think it's the most important part of the Martial Arts, in terms of self defense, not so much the how to but the fact that you know you are.

Like my friend displayed her achievements in life with a demonstration of her new found passion: A Freestyle performed to Helen Redding's 'I am woman, hear me roar'

Yes, she is the Senior Miss...
