Escrima goes beyond stick, sword fighting
Growing up, Karen Gionson-Coloma had a fascination with martial arts, watching "Black Belt Theater" and fawning over Bruce Lee.
Years later, with her hectic schedule — working nights and raising two daughters — she never had the time to take classes.
But six months ago, she took a job working at her daughter's school, which freed up her evenings.
She immediately signed up for escrima.
