They hold the rank of shodan (black belt) in full-contact karate from Karate-do Ken Wa Kan, where they teach in both the adult and children’s programs. Chrissy is a semi-knockdown champion and the co-founder of Fearless Queers Self-Defense (@selfdefenseisgay). Acting MFA: Columbia University. Inexpressible thanks to Gina for bringing this story to the world and trusting me with it, to everyone at the dojo for making it possible for me to be here, to Tara for every round, and to Nico for all the rest.
