"I believe that training of the mind, body, and spirit all contribute to the mastery of oneself. My expectations of you are high because I know that you can do things that you never imagined- whether it’s push-ups, jumping rope, clinch or even fighting. Always ask questions, engage with your fellow students and be ready to see results!"
