Training with the Guardian Angels.....

In trying to open doors and bring Senshido to places where we believe it would do some good, we recently had a "training session/ seminar" for the Guardian Angels of Connecticut. 
For those who don't know what or who the Guardian angels are, The Guardian Angels is a non-profit international volunteer organization of unarmed citizen crime patrollers. The Guardian Angels organization was founded February 13, 1979 in New York City by Curtis Sliwa and has chapters in 15 countries and 144 cities around the world. They are characterized by their signature, bright red berets and ever vigilant demeanors and their helpful natures. 

With a little help from another affiliate who had dealt with his local chapter of Angels, we were put in touch with our local chapter and lo and behold, we had set up a seminar with members of the Connecticut chapters. What the heck! Our first reaction was, "This is gonna be a hoot!" 

As the day drew nearer, Puppy Guts and I were a little nervous, even though we were and are quite confident with the concepts, but when the time came, Puppy Guts brought his A game. I was so proud! It was awesome. We made some believers that night and it felt great. 

As Senshido Connecticut starts on its new path, we've found that there are more snags that not because people are either firm in their belief that their own "styles" work or they "don't see a need for it". But, we haven't let that stop us. Those we try to help are being much more resistant than we thought they'd be, but it's just about getting that foot in the door...... We keep moving forward.....

Thanks for the great time, guys! Carry on and be safe!
