  • Looking for apartments and life in general are just fun...


    If you have ever seen a movie where a person is handcuffed and miraculously gets out of it... It a load of crap.


    In class last week we worked with real handcuffs. If you are a muscular person, slipping them from behind your back is impossible. If you are tall and skinny (mostly skinny) you can easily get them in front of you... Like AkiJames did in class and had to see it twice to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.


    Also, doing a front roll with handcuffs on is NOT a good idea... Trust me I know, metal REALLY digs into the skin and cuts it fairly deeply. I was working with Val and she was late and so I was the handcuff-uke and I did a front roll.. so I blamed my 'injury' on Val.


    Sensei:
    (to Me) You'd better get that looked at...
    (to Val) Good work Val, you aren't even here five minutes and you took him down. Well done. Let's see who else you can take out.
    Vx: Yes, this will be interesting to explain at work that I was beat up by a 17 year old girl.
    BigDan: I suggest you don't tell them, lest you want your masculinity questioned.
    Vx: Point taken.


    I'm at Episode 14 of Season 1 of Farscape and I am totally hooked into it and wondering why I didn't watch the series sooner...
