Notes:
There are seminars once every couple of months.
The instructor is top notch and it is reflected in his students. The ages range from 4-5 years old to people in their 60s or so. He is a very kind, older gentleman and is open to discussing reasons for techniques and additional applications. He is also aware of other styles and how they differ, so don`t worry if you have never trained in these styles, or have other martial arts experience.
