I think this is a great idea. Something kids can use and learn to not only protect themselves, but a good workout, too.
I'm with you, PD
But I can see the first lawsuit being filed by some outraged parent. The chicken_____ school district will scurry back to verbal conflict resolution before you can wax-on, wax-off.
Trip, I hope you are wrong
but I have a feeling you won't be. If nothing else, I hope some of these little girls grow up with the confidence to kick a*% when needed and maybe prevent another bad outcome.
