One thing about today is that you can never be too safe. I know that we have recently had our fair share of stories involving theft and some of us have even lived those stories. In fact, my own Kung Fu school which teaches martial arts in Phoenix, Arizona was just broken into. How crazy is that? Someone was insane enough to break into a martial arts school and vandalize it. But here is the really crazy part, they got away with it. Nothing was broken other than the front door lock but they ran off with plenty of weapons. It had to be a former student or someone that has been into the school before though because some of the advanced black belts keep certain weapons like their favorite straight-sword or favorite spear in certain corners hidden away in the changing area. Those weapons were included in the ones that were stolen.
I had suggested to my instructor that he use real-time remote surveillance and not just motion sensors because while setting off an alarm may get the police there in a hurry, a visual is always a better piece to work with. I think it is being highly considered and the new alarm system should be in by tomorrow if it’s not already. Sigh, now I’ll be able to sleep soundly knowing that my favorite broadsword will be in the school the next time I show up, unless another black belt finds it before our training session.
