Dear Jack,
Last Saturday, we drove around the corner to the rec center so you could start intro karate lessons.
The instructor called you up several times to help him demonstrate in front of the class on how to get out of certain attack holds.
He explained that the first action in self-defense is to verbally tell the person to stop.
His focus was on helping students to prevent a fight, as opposed to participating in one.
We are trying out this class over the next couple of months to see if you want to take it to the next level and enroll in an official karate studio.
I have a feeling that could easily be what ends up happening.
Love,
Daddy
