The Warrior’s Word
A few words from the parents and warriors of our dojo …
“You know, they say it takes a village to raise a child. Literally as parents we feed our children as nutritionally, balanced and healthy (food, water and air) as we can ensure their physical growth. But this dojo subtly feeds my son’s soul and spirit which often we forget how vital those are for a child to grow into a humble whole being inside and out.”
– Parent of a Teen Green/Brown Belt
“What a super presentation at my work. Women’s self-defense day was so practical and helpful. I had never considered martial arts and here I am a yellow belt. I did always want self defense skills for my daughter (a reason I was drawn to the self defense sign at your booth) she certainly knows more than she did 6 months ago. Besides the main purpose (self defense), I think my posture is better, which was an unexpected bonus.”
– Yellow Belt mother and Yellow Belt daughter
“Sasda is THE dojo for children and adults. Donnie Jeffcoat and his team of instructors provide a safe and supportive learning environment for anyone looking to improve self confidence, strength and focus.”
– Proud Parent of a 6-year-old student
“My husband and I started taking classes here a little over a month ago, and we are having a blast. It’s a great work out, but it doesn’t feel like “working out” because you’re learning and enjoying yourself. It never feels repetitive, even when we drill. The instructors are so helpful (and patient), as are the other students. They are also very flexible with our busy schedules. After signing up on a bit of a whim, we are looking forward to moving up the ranks while doing a little couples “therapy”. I highly recommend this for everyone!”
– Husband and Wife Blue Belts
“The reason I enrolled was to get strength in mind, body and spirit. It has helped in many ways such as lowering my anxiety symptoms as well as give me more confidence and flexibility”
– Teen Purple Belt
“Many people enter the dojo for their own person reasons, weight loss, self-control, confidence, exercise, etc. i had no idea what to expect from the instructors, the student, the physical aspect of it. But I can honestly say what a joy and honor it is to be a part of this”
– Adult White Belt
“Just when I thought there were no martial arts schools in the area that had the material I was seeking, the environment I love, and the people that made it perfect, I found SASDA. I enrolled immediately after my first trial lesson and cannot wait to dive into my training. Highly recommended for anyone interested in martial arts, fitness, and strengthening the mind, body and spirit.”
