OMG! It was so much fun! I will be joining after the first of the year. I can't wait!
Awesome, place great deal and instructors. The class was a lot of fun and I am planning on taking more lessons as soon as possible.
It was a great experience, and I will be signing my 9 year old daughter up for classes..
This was a great deal for such an amazing time! The lesson was very informative, everyone had a lot of fun, and how often can you say you trained with someone ranked 5th in the world? Just be ready to get your heart rate up, as everyone was challenged physically more so than we all thought going in. Can't wait to return and continue training. Thanks Utah Swords Academy! - Adam O
