“I really enjoyed the lesson. I certainly would recommend this to total beginners and to people like myself who want both a physical and mental challenge”

“Thank you for providing a sporting club were even kids not considered as atheletic can participate and enjoy, without having their shortcomings highlighted. That really means a lot.”
