I came into this class feeling afraid

Amazing! I came into this class feeling afraid and like I wasn't going to be able to do as well as other people. I have now finished the course and I am feeling so much more confident. I feel as though this class has saved me in a way. I am so grateful to all of my instructors, and so happy with the mental and physical progress I have made in self-defense.
