Rusty was my teacher in the 70s...I was in highschool then. I was the shortest one in my class and still the same height to this day. I had little confidence in fighting back. At home I was beaten by my mom because I was an outlet for her frustration with my dad. Once when she was about to beat me I grabbed both her wrists tightly and looked her in the eyes and said..if you ever try and beat me again I will deck you..The beatings stopped all together. With school mates who got too rough with me I used their weight against them.I even grabbed this older guy in a chokehold jumping on his back to bring him to the floor. The gym teacher had to order me off of him.
