Mythology series returns after this post. While you’re waiting… if you believe these points are invalid, share why. If you have evidence (including your own experience) why these points are important, share that too. Let’s chat.
The mythology series will continue in the next post. In the meantime-
If you disagree with women’s only training options, tell us why these points are invalid- share the data or research to support it and let’s chat.

Across the pond? We have an option now!
yay Antje Timmermann! our host for Level 2 in August has agreed to receive a bulk shipment of the current US fundraiser. Here's how you can get yours in your hands:
1) Attend the level 2 in August and pick yours up personally.
2) Not attending - If you are OUTSIDE the UK - please contact someone who will participate in level 2 to get yours carried out to you by hand (and if you are attending level 2 and do not want to mess with it- be ready to say no 😁). If you need it mailed to you be sure to reimburse your country-mate
3) INSIDE the UK but NOT attending - Antje has offered to ship it to you - you must cover the additional shipping costs directly to Antje. OR - have someone who lives closer to you bring it "home" to you. The fundraiser has been extended by 1 week to allow for this additional effort - When you purchase -
(3) choose "deliver/ship to school" so they will be collected locally to ship.

Disagree.Comment.Share. Engage the conversation.
If you’re not addressing human behavior, variables between known persons v. Strangers, intimate partner dynamics, cognitive ecology influences, subconscious socialization influences for both the Threat and the Targeted person…
You maybe teaching combatives, martial arts skills, kata, but you aren’t teaching or Learning if human behavior isn’t part of the overt conversation.

Did the word “never” hook you? When we get hooked, we stop responding and start reacting instead. When we are reacting, it is very difficult to be curious. And even more difficult to think about something logically.
Oookayyy- here we go.
