I'm adding a self defense session to the training roster at the gym on Saturday mornings, 9-10.30. Especially for anyone with a heavy size disadvantage.

	I might check that out, thanks. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Most of the adjustments I've made are just compensating for normal human strength, but I used a lot of the same techniques when I was barely four feet tall so it should work well enough for everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well I'm only 5'5" so I'm used to people usually being taller. I know I'm kind of scrawny, too. I should probably learn a few things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It always seems like most of the men around are well over six feet too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, that can get pretty annoying. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You gonna be the one teaching it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	x_facility 2017-11-20 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Probably without all the torture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absorbs 2017-11-20 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	I reckon you'll get a lot more people going without the torture. Even if'n it can be pretty realistic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It probably makes it a lot harder to actually fight when you don't have a healing factor too. Better to try to avoid getting hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absorbs 2017-11-20 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	You make a good point. I rely too much on knowing Logan's around and he wouldn't even let me have a papercut for too long before giving me his power to heal when we were back home sometimes. There's also the whole working through your pain to get out of the situation alive though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2017-11-21 12:10 am UTC (link)
	There is. I'm not sure how to teach it though. It might be something where you need the high stakes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absorbs 2017-11-21 12:12 am UTC (link)
	The adrenaline rush definitely helps with that. I reckon if'n you teach them the basics so that when they're in a situation they know what they can do to get outta it then hopefully it'll kick in if they're ever in something with that much risk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2017-11-21 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Instinct. That's the idea. It's the same as unlearning things I think. ~~I wouldn't have tried to teach non-lethal combat five years ago.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absorbs 2017-11-21 12:27 am UTC (link)
	I reckon you're right about that. I ain't sure its unlearning and more rewiring how we think/act? Changing what is our instincts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2017-11-21 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. I think that's some kind of therapy too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absorbs 2017-11-21 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Probably, but that's more up the Professor's alley than mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_facility 2017-11-21 12:44 am UTC (link)
	A therapist probably wouldn't know what to do with most of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	absorbs 2017-11-21 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Not a human one anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	notmaidmarian 2017-11-21 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Good, because I've had enough of that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
