Testimonials:
"Sensei,
I would like to share with you just how wonderful the Randori class was today. It is always fun, enlightening, exhausting, thought-provoking, and just an absolutely enriching class. Today was no different... except in one regard: class was more awesome than usual. The girls and I absolutely loved the unstructured aspect of repeated attacks until the threat is neutralized. It is great to practice the techniques during the weeks of classes; however, it is amazing to see how quickly our techniques fall apart under duress. However, after repeated rounds of this style of attack, it was rewarding to see some semblance of our elements taking form in our defenses. I saw people grounded in earth, fluid water movements across the entire mat (and close to the door at times).... and I'll end there because the wind movements were still awful. However, the feeling of being able to shift into and out of these elements, and of seeing people thoughtfully getting into their kamae, reflected the absolutely amazing job Mr. Holt has done with us in Randori class. We are so grateful that you both continue to offer this class and for Mr. Holt's time, care, and dedication to making each class better and better. Also, a huge shout-out to John, Mike, and Keith for being wonderful training partners."
Cheers,
Ajit Gubbi
"Mr. Norcross and Mr. Holt,
Thank you so much for this class. It had a lot of structure, but it was also a free-for-all. It was so fun, and I think everyone else thought the same. I learned a lot, and I loved how Mr. Holt joined in as well. We got a lot of reps in this time, which helped me. I had an amazing time, and I cannot wait for the next Randori class. Hope everyone stays healthy and happy!"

Sensei,
"This class was super helpful, just showing us how much we already know and what we can work on. The way the class is run by Mr. Holt has really helped me develop my techniques and awareness. I think the way it was run today really enhanced that natural flow. It also made sure that you had to either check that a person was down or they would come back, and I think it was really helpful overall."
