When discussing self-defense for beginners and those new to the realm of self-protection, I’m often asked…
“If I just want to get out of there and need to shut this guy down fast, what are the best areas of his body to hit?”
I love questions like this, because it tells me that the person asking it is thinking “strategically“ rather than simply mechanically. If you ask questions, not related as much to “what” it is that you can do but, “how,” “where,” “when,” and “why”…
…it tells me that you’re thinking about results, effectiveness, and efficiency…
Part Two:
Ask questions, sheesh, never be afraid to ask questions.
Don’t be intimidated by people, they had a first day in kindergarten as well, don’t let people fool you. We all have a beginning to every single thing.

Fairy princesses are swiftly becoming a popular thing for many girls to admire and love. They wish that they could be fairy princesses, and want to emulate what their favorite fairies are like. If your kids like fairy princesses, then they will definitely like to do crafts based on this. They will feel great because they put in the effort to make the stuff themselves. This will add to the kind of fun that they have with the projects.
As a self-taught artist I have not received an extensive introduction to art philosophy. Yet, I admit I am curious, and I have once or twice been confronted with the question of my art being “fake.”
