thanks! That dauntless-soft seems like a good option -- and not very expensive either.
mostly, I'm hoping to take it on my own so I can save the cost of paying for an actual instructor at hourly cost (and time) at any of the schools around here (NYC). And maybe if I do it on my own and pass the test before I start on the training it won't be any reason for raised eyebrows if I ask after starting training...
