Good afternoon everyone,
I would like to share something that is very dear to my heart. Our community has changed a great deal over the years. This change has its positives but it also carries something that can affect us all at some degree. Crime,is all too present and all too real.
No one is immune to it including myself. Many years ago I was the victim if a serious crime and it had left me feeling unsafe everywhere I went.
It is then I decided to make changes in my life to regain the confidence, self awareness and control that I once had. It was a long journey but well worth experiencing.
What gave me my life back was Self Defence Martial Arts instructed by Troy Kaye. Not only did I feel safer I also got to work on my own personal challenges.
You see, this is not just another Martial Arts School, where I saw physical challenges from an old car accident and osteoarthritis, Mr. Kaye saw potential for improvement and new skills.
Through his teachings and conditioning I regained some mobility and ability. He showed me how to adapt not to my disabilities but to my new abilities. You see, with this school, anyone with any level of fitness can learn some life saving skills and for those that are very fit there are some very challenging levels that you can achieve a whole new level of fitness.
This school is not pushing the students toward a competitive sport of sparring and possibly getting injured in the process. It is conditioning and learning how to protect yourself and loved ones in a very controlled, safe, environment. It is about learning new skills, reaching new goals, increasing physical fitness at your own level, it is team work, it is new friendships, it is challenging yourself mentally and physically and so much more.
Mr. Kaye’s teachings are for the young, old no matter the gender and everyone in between.
There will be a new women’s class starting in September I will be there and I hope many of the ladies I know and love will also join me.
More classes to be announced soon, there will be diversity in the types of Martial Arts available I hope to see familiar faces join me in staying safe while learning new skills and fitness.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post, here is the info for the September classes, just call the number to join or ask any questions you may have.
