never cross a pregnant woman
This one struck a chord with me because (a) swords are cool (no longer being much daily use for combat, they’re the playthings of geeks and obsessives) (b) my girlfriend is pretty handy with a sword as well (c) she didn’t swing it around when she was pregnant, but she probably should have.
The woman in the photo is doing Wudangquan, specifically Wudang Double Sword. But any decent sword practice will help get the arms moving, the metabolism raised and the heart pumping.
And the boys will treat your little girl with remarkable amounts of respect. If they think Dad’s scary … just wait till they see Mum out the back chopping a dummy to bits.
