"I really liked it. Very clear and the demos were good. Love the stuff
about body mechanics, footwork and introduction to measure and timing. Very clear for even a new student to understand.
Good work on this!" John "Doc" Lennox Art of Combat |
"The information is obviously solid and well thought out in
it's order of presentation and very well shot. The costumes and
location I think give a nice look and feel for the time period.
Well done mate."
