Don't Be a Victim, is what Master Tracy Thomas told me my first day
I wanted to attend a women's self defense course to avoid a potential life threatening situation. Watching the news with all the local crime does scare me. Changing Lives Martial Arts taught me the necessary skills needed to defend myself with confidence, potential assailants will think twice as I’m no longer that easy target. I learned very quickly in a reality based format that I wasn’t anywhere near the strength of a man. However, after just a few months I began to learn that I could handle a uncomfortable situation with men two to three times my weight. Yes, Changing Lives Martial Arts taught me strike hard and fast to save my life. Their system works, their classes aren’t just a training, their reality based, physically demanding and fun all at the same time. I am forever a student of CLMA. Debbie W
Engaging In Martial Arts To Combat My Obesity
Thank you Changing Lives Martial Arts and all the top notch instructors. I started training at CLMA to lose weight. I was 75lbs overweight and embarrassed about what I had allowed myself to become. Master Thomas took me into his class and accepted me for whom I was and allowed me to train under him and his instructors. He was more than a mentor to me, he was a leader that was guiding me down the path that would change my life forever. 75lbs lighter I can say “Thank You” to all of the martial arts instructors at Changing Lives Martial Arts. I have the confidence to succeed in life, I have the desire to stay in shape. The leadership course has allowed me to grow in my business and with my social life. I feel happy and am so glad I have met everyone at CLMA. You are my family away from my family. Tammy B
A changed woman in Martial Arts
I’m honoured to write this testimonial as to how changing lives martial arts has changed my life. On the most basic level, we learn to manage three areas of martial arts training, Physical, Mental, and Emotional. Hearing this in my first class was more than important and I knew from the start this karate school was right for me. The training is very structured and goal oriented for each of us as individuals. I was worried I would be compared to others as I am less physical, that is not the case at CL Martial Arts. Today I am free of fear, I feel more confident, more agile and most of all I am happy. Each class I come to at CLMA I learn something new while working on my fundamental basics. Thank you very much for such a great martial arts program. Lori K
