HI-YA.


"Have you seen 'Taken'?" This is a common question I am asked when I tell people I am living in China for four months.

 The Tuellers are great friends of mine and after seeing this movie they asked me that question. Followed by their worries for me. I reassured them that I would never be as stupid as those two girls and tell random men where I live. The Tuellers told me that they would feel better if I knew a few self defense moves just in case I was ever in a bad situation. They are both black belts and taught martial arts classes. Basically, they are really hardcore. So I had my first of a couple training sessions last week. It was REALLY fun! and REALLY hard. I was sweating up a storm after it was over. They were surprised with how hard I could punch (go me!). 

So watch out chinese men...this girlie girl is more tough than you think!

JD Tueller filmed this on his phone while I wasn't watching...haha

I'm pretty impressed by your punch! No letting strange men into your cab or showing them where you live. Thanks.

Who'd of thought sweet Rachel could be so stinkin' tough?! She N-A-I-L-E-D IT!! No lie, she is a natural born martial artist. Actually, I'm a little worried now because she is ready to spar and I'll have to spar with her and take her pretty mean punches. She is a lean, mean fighting machine! As Mr. "T" once said, " I pity the fool" who decides to take her on. Go Rachy!!
