- The woman demonstrating the strike falls into a rhythm and gives little telegraphs. Be careful not to do this, even in practice. Telegraphing lets your opponent know what's coming, and so does striking in a predictable rhythm.

Greetings in the Name of the Lord!
I wanted to let you know that my sons and I are really being blessed by your blog. We've been looking for someone teaching from this perspective for years. Keep up the good work!
Oh, have you ever thought of a conference on these topics? I know a lot of folks that would be interested in attending.
Thank you for your encouraging words.
I've been reading & ruminating on these topics for years. I just hope I have enough material to hold the interest of Christian martialists for some time to come.
(Do a couple of my daughters belong to the same church as your family?)
I'm open to presenting at a conference. If you're interested in setting something up, email me: gravelbelly@gmail.com
