First self defense class is in the books. I think it went over well.

It went faster than I thought, i’d prepared material that I thought would last the entire class but we went through it 3x faster than I thought. I worry I moved too fast. I’ll make sure and spend at least 1/3 of next class reviewing and refining what we did tonight.
