Absolutely. I&#8217;m still quite new; Sarah is even newer. But I think we both did pretty well, and it was great to have my husband and my friend Tracey there to cheer us on, and it was a good excuse to finish up some Christmas shopping while we were there!<\/p>\n<p>Here is the mother-daughter lineup, including our friend Ms. Tricia and her daughter Raychel, Beth and Emma and Nicole and her daughter Athena. I&#8217;m at right; you can&#8217;t see Sarah here because she had just finished up the part she knew and the rest of us, who are a little more advanced, were continuing.<\/p>\n<p>And here I am with Nicole, doing what is called controlled sparring. The best part? During this, I get to yell REALLY LOUD. And for those of you who know me, I bet you&#8217;re not surprised that I loved that!<\/p>\n<p>There is also a picture I refuse to post of me after I broke a board with my fist. I look so mean!
