“It was utterly jaw dropping how beautiful the school was, how enthusiastic everyone was, and how well they were trained… it was like hearing music played well. That’s the way the entire event played out on every level. The music was carefully arranged, the musicians all in their places, and then they all played their hearts out in a symphony of friendly violence. The entire team deserves credit for an event well run. If you are a martial artist anywhere near Vancouver you need to train with these people. The Art is in good hands.”
Puck Curtis Instructor, Sacramento Sword School
