Here are a few words from our students on why they enjoy taking classes from us and what it has meant to them.

Thanks for the classes this winter break. Not only does this keep me more fit than I try to keep myself otherwise, these past weeks also re-affirm my feelings toward your school as one of the best recreational groups I have joined in a long time. Your teaching style is right up my alley and your reputations are known to others I talk to related to your art. Thank you for another great session.

I wanted to offer a formal "thank you" for all the time you have spent training and developing me into the martial artist I am today.

I had checked out several schools of various styles (Judo, Shotokan, etc.) around Cincinnati before deciding that Blue Ash Shaolin-Do (BASD) would be the best overall fit for me, and time has only reinforced that I made the right decision. I've since spent over 2 ½ years training in martial arts at the BASD and it has not only enhanced my physical shape, but also provided me with skills that will last a lifetime.

My initial and continued attraction to BASD is based on the following characteristics:

• Extremely knowledgeable instructors
• Affordable monthly rates
• Instructors who take the time to ensure I am learning the katas accurately
• Timing flexibility in the class schedule (more than one class/week offered)
• Variety of both open hand and weapons forms

Since joining, I have increased my flexibility, speed, muscle endurance, and have gained a great deal of confidence in my ability to defend myself. All instructors instill a sense of humbleness to the students, while teaching a disciplined and physically intensive class that can cater to those who have never thrown a punch as well as to those who have a black belt in different style.

I have/do highly recommend BASD to anyone interested in learning martial arts while improving their shape physically and mentally in the process.

Thanks again,

Jim Eutsler

Hey, I just wanted to drop a note and say thanks for how supportive you all have been, and thanks for the extra help you guys have given me while I'm recovering. The extra attention means a lot, and I really feel like I can be ready for the test on the 24th.

Although I know that a lot of this comes from within, I really feel like the dojo has helped me get back on the path that I strayed from during/after my divorce. The support and encouragement I got after my surgery from everyone really drove that home. I feel like I'm welcome, and that I belong there.

Coming to the dojo has probably been the best decision I've made regarding my own life in quite sometime, possibly since high school. Every day that I am there I feel like I am becoming a better person, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. I feel more well-rounded, and I take the lessons that I learn at the dojo about myself to heart.

You've attracted a wonderful group of people, and they all reflect the school's commitment and attitude very well, and you should be proud of that.

I look forward to many more years of classes.

Thanks, you've made a big difference in my life, and I truly appreciate it.
