I have been with the school for a few months and finished my first belt test today - something i never though i could achieve!
every instructors in this school is absolutely amazing, highly knowledgeable and very welcoming! My first thoughts before joining were the same as everyone elses i.e. i have no marital arts background, i don't think my fitness levels are up there, and it is intimidating. one trial class in and i signed up as soon as possible because every one of those questions were answered within minutes. the environment is very supportive!
you learn from the instructors, you learn from the advanced students, you learn from people at your level! you can ask questions anytime to anyone and you leave every class better than before you get there - worth every penny! i have never had a partner in class who i didn't love working with.
the toughest part is working all day and then making it to class, but all it takes is getting there - i have never left a class not feeling like a million bucks! Lawrence, Dan and the team are absolutely excellent, with ridiculous amount of knowledge and more than anything, they want to see the students learn and do well. They are willing to spend the time to make sure that happens. As instructors they participate in all the conditioning classes as well. other advanced students are a clear reminder of what can be achieved if you stick with it. Literally all it takes is one email, and getting that trial class in! highly highly recommend.
