After a productive day of a four hour men’s retreat, picking up plywood for attic decking from a guy off craigslist, and loading up a new “nursing” chair for Logan’s room from a family friend all on Saturday as my brother and I were driving home we got to talking about these two subjects after seeing a car with way too many bumper stickers: CHL and Martial Arts.
First, we both agreed that, aside from it being manly, it would be cool to take concealed handgun license classes to get certified in the proper handling of a firearm as well as the training and potential greatness for marksmanship that could ensue. Jesse has never fired a gun and I’ve only done so a couple of times. We aren’t talking airsoft or paintball guns here either. Both of us have done that.
Secondly, we broached the topic of martial arts. We both admitted that we’ve been fortunate enough to never truly been in a situation where we needed to fight hands on but would like to know that we could handle ourselves if the need arose. We decided that martial arts was a good way to do that. Or any other hand to hand fighting technique for that matter.
Jesse and I decided that if we could master both, getting our CHL’s, and learning a fighting technique that we could handle ourselves in just about any physical altercation that we could realistically see ourselves in. So, anyone know of any good places in which to accomplish these goals?
i think that’s awesome Jared. Sorry I’m no help with resources…maybe search for a gym or community center for the classes?
Dangit Holly! I thought you had all the connections up there in Denton. Fooey.
uh, I can see what I can do. Maybe I know someone and I don’t even realize it.
