Dear Mbak Tertiani (Mirip ya dgn namaku Titiana..He...He...),Pak Sensei Deddy Mansyur dan kawan milis lainnya,
Pertama,ucapan terima kasihku kepada The Jakarta Post yang muat kegiatan latihan ini.Beserta 3 Foto dan besar-besar lagi + berwarna.Senang banget ngeliatnya mbak.Oh mbak Editor Rubrik City toh di The Jakarta Post.Nah itukan beritanya munculnya di rubrik City jadi makasih sekali lagi.Terus salam hangat dan terima kasihku untuk mbak Prodita Sabarini (Reporternya) dan mas fotografernya (aku lupa lagi namanya.He..He..).Insya Allah masih gratis koq latihannya. Ada sih bule yg nelpon tapi nggak telpon aku tetapi telpon ke Ida.Soalnya kan nama Ida duluan disebutkan dalam kontak person.Wah harusnya pelatihnya Pak Sensei Fahmi dibayar mahal ya soalnya mengajar dalam dua bahasa.Indonesia dan Inggris.He..He... Buat Pak Sensei Deddy Mansyur,makasih buat idenya.Namaku Dinda jangan dibuat kepanjangannya dong pak.He..He..masa aku dikira mau dapat Awards,Awards dari siapa Pak?He..He..Aku udah bahagia koq meskipun belum pulih benar kondisi kesehatanku dan jalan masih menggunakan tongkat.Tapi aku bahagia melihat teman-teman perempuan pada dapat bekal menjaga dirinya.Salam hormatku buat Pak Sensei Deddy Mansyur. Dan terakhir soal buku ttg self defense for women itu masih mimpi dan anganku koq.Menginggat banyak sekali email yang masuk dari perempuan di daerah yang perlu tahu ttg Self Defense.Ya mudah-mudahan aja ada lembaga dana/perorangan yang mau membiayai penulisan dan percetakan buku itu.Menginggat referensinya hanya ada di Amerika dan Eropa.Belum ada buku sejenis ini yang terbit di Indonesia. Terima kasih semuanya...

At the time, practice held in the Senayan Sports Complex, South Jakarta. Every Sunday for five weeks, participants built coordination agility, strength, and poise. > The second course with new participants is being conducted at Sensei Fahmiâs house. âItâs cleaner and more comfortable for doing push-up and sit-upsâ Dinda said > She said most of the women were working women who had experienced violence. > Dinda said she hoped the class inspired others to offer similar courses for women. She also plans to write the book on self defense for women. > âItâs very important for every women to learn to protect themselves.
