Picture Source

Susan got herself enrolled in a takeando class for self defence as she has seen how boys molest other girls in the street. She does not want to take such games from anyone.

First day in class was memorable. She could not do the practical basic things to be fine with but her coach/mentor was down to earth as she loved her passion to learn the game.

As time progresses she started picking up and doing those defences that even an amateur may find difficult to perform. Her mentor was well impressed with her work ethic.

Susan became friendly with Kate who also got enrolled to learn that art of self defense. But Kate was always afraid to take on the classes. She sometimes skip classes when it became too hot for her to handle. But only God knows what actually propelled her to make a come back each time everyone fett she had thrown in the towel.

As their training progressed, one day she whispered into Susan's ears "strap yourselve in, the next phase of this training is going to be a wild ride!". "Am off for good".

True to her words, Kate left the training ground that day and never came back. But like a committed fellow Susan underwent the whole training regime and came out a refined and reformed lady.
