CC Humphreys
“The whole event was beautifully organized, very informative and huge fun. Tom [Leoni] taught [his workshop] impeccably, with grace, humour and a fine balance between head and body. As a writer, I learned so much that could not be gleaned merely from books. How the weapons feel when used correctly, the philosophy behind the physical.”
