" Self-defense is so important to know in today’s society. It’s not just that you might get mugged. It’s more for confidence. It’s the way you hold yourself when you walk into a room. Every step you take is more sure and you’re much more aware of your surroundings. So, I think it’s a really important thing – especially for women"
"I love teaching respect and confidence, I just wish someone could teach me to dance like John Travolta"
Vu Le
Respect | Confidence
Grace
Perseverance | Courage
"I love knowing that to most of the students we come in contact with, both children and adults, will gain some type of confidence or life skill that they will hold on to forever. Also the parents of these kids are choosing us to trust in being a part of raising them to become great people, and that is such a blessing to me.""
" The guy up in the top left corner who thinks he is Jackie Chan is my father and I speak Cantonese like an Ozzie"
