Tons of great stuff for me to work on. Much appreciated!
Regarding some of the class suggestions--I am registered for ECQC next month. I definitely have my eye on Cecil Burch's classes, though I can't get to the upcoming ones that John Murphy is hosting. And I've already done a few unarmed self defense classes with local trainers. What I find is that without consistent practice, etc, I don't really retain the skills, so I need consistent practice. Not exactly a deep insight there, I know. :)
