“

"MIND BLOWING" I had a great time and this experience will stick with me until the day of my last breath! The refinement in movement, the connection and unity when applying the technique, the honest screams of pain, the sweat and laughter, the memory of all this that I have on my wrists and the opportunity to meet great people.”
