I got back in contact with a guy who used to work there and has come back, today.
He has been through four months of state trooper self defense training. He feels like a bad ass and truly, he IS a bad ass! We were kind of like "Buds" before.
I am not your average dipstick (he knows it), after years of training in self defense upon my own. (Yes, I have only done studies of and practiced what I already know for about fifteen years - I am out of date - it has been quite a while since I had any instruction) We had a short chance to spar. I put him down and had the advantage two times, but he got me down three times (then we were out of time), so, I have to bow my head to the superior warrior.
Despite what I know, he knows the same and can better execute. he kicked my ass three times today. I love these pre-work times to get to know people at work.
This was an awesome day!!
