OUR CLIENT MEMBERS >>>PURPOSE – A reason to expend Energy
What an exciting adventure February has been, this year. All our wonderful client members are back in action, we have met awesome new members and their families. The PIT “Chi” is having a positive re energizing effect on everyone and yesterday a gentleman stopped in his tracks when the dojo came into plain view and stated “This is a serious place to study martial arts – it commands the respect for the arts and it feels so empowering!” to which we replied, ‘thank you’
