The la Canne Vigny walking stick self-defense seminar was a huge success this past Saturday -- thanks mainly to the organization and sales skills of Morgan Mitchell! The weather was sunny and beautiful, just a little chilly, and everybody learned a ton.

Some memorable words overheard during the 90-minute session:

"What's the secret sauce in the martial arts? Intent!"
"Oops." And then...
"Thanks for the reminder Tucker. Let's all put on goggles before we go any further."
"I think my arm is falling off."
"Is this a wedding reception or martial arts seminar?"
"I think I need to start working out more often."
"How do you make your arm do that?"
"Hit it like Serena Williams!"
"I'll take those gloves now."

Here are some great photos taken by Leo (thanks Leo!) and a short video clip of the physical training portion of the seminar at the bottom (we call it "command and mastery" of the weapon).
