I teach self-defense against hate crimes to LGBT folks through Chimera Self-Defense and the Thousands Waves Martial Arts and Self-Defense Center.

I want to learn all I can about LGBT domestic violence and eventually teach seminars in LGBT domestic violence prevention. I have been training in karate for 10 years and I hold the rank of black belt. I practice Shambala Buddhism -- and I do mean 'practice;' I fall off my own path a lot. Oh yeah, I work in the Information Technology division of the University Library in Evanston. B.A. from Siena College (Loudonville, N.Y.) A.M. from University of Chicago - you know where that is.
