If I had in encounter the likeliness of me being in flats is slim. I used to do Tai Chi in the park a few years ago and loved it!

I found I was very aware of my surroundings, of the dark corners and walls, and it helped to heighten my intensity because it felt so street real. A little old man happened by and stopped to watch me for a while. When I paused, he asked, "Are you dancing or fighting?" I like to think both!

I always wear my normal cloths because the odds are that i will be wearing normal cloths, not my gi, when i will have to defend myself. I dont train in difrent eviorments though, that is a good idea. I also think runing through diffrent scenarios and situations will help you to know what you would do in those situations and help you to learn to develope a measured responce to diffrent levels of threat. Like G.I. Joe says...knowing is half the battle... At home i never wear my gi.

Let me know if anyone wants to go with me! Also, I never thought about training with things like sunglasses or backpacks...good idea! Another thought for us ladies is to try doing a few techniques with our purses on... I’m all for going to the park to train in the summer! Let me know if anyone wants to go with me!
