"Simon An had just arrived with his parents, his older sister and his younger brother at his family’s taekwondo school in Katy, Texas, on Tuesday afternoon when they heard a scream so loud it reminded him of a horror movie.

That was when the An family, all of whom are taekwondo instructors, sprang into action and stopped a sexual assault at the business next door, delivering the attacker to the police."

A devastating revelation. #grickledoodle #cats #mice #taekwondo #cartoon #art #drawing #funny

Any #LGBTQ, #Trans, #Nonbinary, or #Queer people in #SanDiego, CA that would be interested in practicing or learning martial arts?

I've been thinking I would like to get back into practicing martial arts and would love to maybe host an informal group so I have people to practice and learn with! I practiced Taekwondo and Judo for over a decade, once upon a time, and used to teach back in my early 20s....but I am really out of practice and out of shape, so I need folks I can feel comfortable exercising and learning with.

I have a space in my garage and could easily get some mats and a punching bag. I would host and teach for free, and would be happy to adapt what we do to anybody's accessibility or disability needs. Not a sure thing yet, but would there be anyone interested in these parts?

1/ I was at #TaeKwonDo today, and I had a realization that has probably been too long in coming.

I'm about one year into TKD as an adult (over 40). I suck.† I don't think I suck particularly more or less than any other middle aged guy with my experience, but still, I'm not good. I keep training because almost everything I really value in my life came more from not quitting than any innate ability.

Meanwhile, I'm an #educator at the #university level.

† more on this to come

TIL that the five tenets of #taekwondo include these two: “self-control”, and “indomitable spirit”.

in·dom·i·ta·ble (ĭn-dŏm′ĭ-tə-bəl) adj. Incapable of being overcome, subdued, or vanquished; unconquerable. Incapable of being subdued : UNCONQUERABLE.

How do you control something like that?

Conclusion: taekwondo is impossible.

The Ukrainian TaeKwonDo national team will skip the 2023 World Championship due to the application of athletes from Russia and Belarus to the tournament, — vice-president of the Taekwondo Federation of Ukraine Serhii Vasylchenko

On a more personal note, I'm here with my daughter, my partner Meg, and our #goldendoodle Noosa (yes, like the yogurt). I love the Pacific Northwest. Trees, mountains, and moderate summers. Great stuff.

I've studied #martialArts for a lot of my life. #TaeKwonDo, then #Aikijitsu, then #KungFu, which I came to really love. But touching hands wasn't really an option through Covid, so I've fallen out of practice :(

Oh, and #cycling, especially #ebikes to take on the brutal Seattle hills

Should I really do an #introduction ? I’m already loud and obnoxious… I’ll follow etiquette though.

I’m Lesley, from Chicago. Now an immigrant in Melbourne. I have been doing #infosec for quite a while now. I focus on #dfir for #ics and critical infrastructure. I do a lot of talks and career clinics and writing about that - links in profile. I'm available as a #KeynoteSpeaker and I want to talk at your con.

Outside work I do lots of stuff. I’m really into #martialarts even though I’ll never be super good. I have two fourth degree black belts in #TangSooDo and #taekwondo. I also study #arnis and Kung Fu. I coach middle schoolers. I also love #gaming, especially a #mmorpg. I watch lots of geeky movies and #cosplay at cons even though I’m ancient. I’m a goof. I also shoot #bows and #pistols competitively. I love a good gin martini. I can chat about almost anything.

I retired from the #USAF reserves in 2021 after an interesting career seeing a lot of the world.

I am publicly #NonBinary and #asexual. I prefer they/them pronouns for that reason, but I don’t get upset when people accidentally mess it up. Gender is silly, and I prefer to not participate in gender roles! I never married or had kids for that reason, but people are great and I have lots of awesome pals to have adventures with.

I care deeply about #humanrights and #socialjustice. I am a proud #atheist and #humanist. It’s integral to who I am. I care about people today and future generations being well and safe. I’ll get mad for you, because I care.

Time for an #introduction
