Jujitsu Lessons Better

I just took my daughter for her first jujitsu lesson today and she loved it. Did pretty good for the first time; as well as a few of the yellow belts.

I've been waiting until she was squared away on her swimming lessons before starting her on some self-defense lessons--part of which gave her motivation to do better at swimming, because she wanted to learn some martial arts.

Since her mother and I are teaching her right from wrong--and are relying on God to make it sink in--we're as confident as any parent can be that she'll do the right thing as she gets older. After all, she's not some highly-evolved animal that can't think, reason and control herself.

And these martial arts lessons will help ensure that she's able to defend herself from any bad guys who have ill intent toward her, giving her father much greater peace of mind as she grows older and will be spending more time on her own out in the world.

Between training her to do the right thing and make the right choices, and getting her trained to prevent the bad guys from forcing their "choices" on her, I just don't think she'll have much need for Governor Rounds' free HPV vaccination...
