Why did you begin martial arts training?
I wanted to be a able to defend myself in case I found myself in a situation that I needed to. Also I wanted a new and fun way to stay in shape.
Did you have any previous martial arts training before joining CNC?
Yes, I did Tae Kwon Do when I was younger.
What do you like the most about Ninjutsu?
I enjoy the variety of things that you learn and how practical they are. The class isn't just about unarmed combat but a wide variety of things such as stealth, first aid, and much more.
What has been the greatest benefit from your training?
The self confidence that I now have. I now feel more than competent in a self-defense situation.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Trying to absorb all the information. The instructors have so much knowledge to impart to you and taking it all in is sometimes a big challenge.
What advice would you give to a new student?
Absorb all that you can! Stick around after class, ask questions, be on the forum. The more you take in the more you'll enjoy the experience. Everyone has something they can teach you so ask all the questions you can think of to anyone who will listen (and they will!). Finally, don't be afraid to jump into the class head first, don't be afraid to try anything in class either, each technique or activity you participate in will only make you grow stronger.
