A force to reckon with?

On Thursday evening this week, Caroline & I went along to the Frome WI meeting to let them know about the Group meetings and what happens. We also stayed to take part in their meeting: a demonstration of Taikwondo. It was actually taking part, too, as we learned and tried out various methods of repelling an attacker! Which parts of the body can inflict the most damage! Then we tried some punching and kicking! ( not each other this time, some special pads held by an expert!)
It was great fun, and as we walked down the lane to the car park afterwards we felt very bold and brave!
However, any attacker would have to be extremely slow and patient, willing to respond to requests to wait while we tried to remember how to make him relax his grip so we could kick him and run away! This, in fact, was the message overall: run away!
