Self defense and the funny
Tonight was some goooood practice. We got a lot of learning, hitting and falling done, and a good time was had by all. In addition, tonight was the first time I've seen one of the ranking instructors (Betty) in some time and I had something to tell her. A few weeks ago I'd found a website designed to calculate the likelihood a particular individual has of being raped, robbed, assaulted or whatnot. Here's the URL: http://www.rateyourrisk.org.

The questions and selection process is pretty good, I think. I showed both Betty and Sensei Tommy the site and told them it would be ideal for some of the women's self defense course classes, and we got to talking about that.

After a while, Sensei asked me what I got on the test. I told them that I came in at a -12. That means that it's more likely that I'll assault, rape, stab, beat or rob a criminal than the other way around. Both of my instructors promptly died laughing.

Anyway, take the test, tell me what you get. I'd like to see just how safe my friends and family are.
