Contest Winner
The winner of Tae Kwon Do for Women is Bertha. She was the only person who actually entered, so that made the decision easy 
.
I’m going to be doing a give-away contest every month, rotating between my three blogs. That means there’ll be a martial-arts or self-defense give-away every three months. I’ll post the contest at the beginning of the month; on the first day of the next month, I’ll draw the winner at random from the list of entries.
How to enter: Just leave a comment on my blog anytime during the month stating that you want to enter the contest. That’s it. Please don’t leave any physical addresses or phone numbers in the comments — if you win, I’ll get your mailing address from you in a private email.
Look for the next contest here in October 2009.
You have other blogs?!
Those would be in her sidebar under “My other Blogs”, no?

Heh.
I already read Jennifer Lawler’s book so that is why I didn’t enter. : ) Good book though! I think I have another of her books called “Dojo Wisdom for Moms” or something like that. Found 2 copies at our big book fair and bought one for me and one for a friend who practices martial arts as well.
@Bertha Actually, my RPG blog is more focused on GM tools and help, rather than on our game.
@MAM. I like Jennifer Lawler’s writing, too. I’m slowly working my way through her Dojo Wisdom and have Dojo Wisdom for Mothers on my wish list at Amazon. A lot of my readers are karateka’s or practice style other than tae kwon do, so I’m sure that’s one of the reasons there weren’t many entries.
@Jade & @Bertha Didn’t mean the blog was part of game. Meant rpggm.com proper.
Obviously wasn’t clear.
Too tired recently. I obviously need a couple more blood points.
