Katie G.
American Karate Black Belt
After a situation involving domestic violence, my life changed. It was as if I viewed everything through a lens of fear and even the most innocuous tasks seemed insurmountable. I felt weak, afraid and helpless. My martial arts journey gave me the courage and confidence to transform my life, not just by giving me the tools to protect myself and those around me, but giving me more confidence than I’d ever had to begin with.

Karate/Kung fu Student
I went to a Safe to Train certified school and the training was incredibly good as well as compassionate to all students.
