ANY ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS OR ANYONE INTERESTED IN JOINING?
The first step onto the mat is the hardest. Once you get past this hurdle, there will be good times, and there will be times you question why you even started doing martial arts. But at the end of the day, you will wonder why you didn’t start earlier.
