I am looking to expand my class schedule this year with the possibility of new locations, 1/2 day, full day and weekend events. If you are at all interested in pursuing the basic or advanced education, consider initiating a class. Locations can be churches, hospitals, community centers, businesses or wherever we can gather with some relative privacy for the duration of the class. Study materials are provided for at the various levels of instruction. My range of travel is within the Orlando metropolitan area, but I am open for other venues if it can work for all. Contact me with any questions at info@mindandbodymartialarts.com
