“With all respect to San Francisco, I left my heart in Vancouver. The venue, the students, schedule… the volunteers. I just can’t believe that this was [VISS]’s maiden voyage. VISS ran with an efficiency that spoke to a much more established event. It also had a spirit that is hard to explain. If you want to see what WMA schools can be, you need to visit Academie Duello. Devon has built something that is at once professional, highly martial, cultural, educational and yet…family. That was all wonderful, and the sala is visually beautiful, but what impressed me is how much a part of a community the Academie is. I can’t say… how much I look forward to seeing you again.”
