"I loved the [presentation]. It provided useful physical techniques that every woman should know, while providing sound advice for peace of mind. The teacher was patient and demonstrated techniques at a pace that beginners to advanced fighters would be able to follow. I would love if this turned into an option for a club so that more information could be covered over a longer span of time!"

"I attended the Christianity and Martial Arts convocation on April 19th and I left feeling extremely humbled and enlightened. Your message innervated my spirit when I was struggling to find balance in my life spiritually, academically, and physically...Before I left my dorm, I said mockingly to my roommate, 'Christianity and Martial Arts...let's see how they tie these two together.' But I was extremely impressed with your presentation. You helped put my life in perspective when I desperately needed it."
