How we start every class – Student Creed
Opportunity vs. Obligation
The idea of opportunity vs. obligation blew my mind last week and now I’m looking at things totally differently and it’s GREAT.

It’s true. What really matters, is the little things. They’re easy to overlook, but should never be forgotten.
Since we moved online, we’ve been offering private lessons online to our students. The whole goal of doing that was to make sure that students continued to train, learn and grow.
