I like how the course and instructor is giving a practical and technical by the numbers lesson. I also like the fact that he shows the moves/training through different angles to give the trainees a better understanding of how the movement is supposed to look like. - Marvin E.

I thought that in close range you can hit your opponent and your opponent can hit you. The medium range, If I evade the opponent strike I can hit him or wise versa. I thought in long range, neither of us can hit each other. Interesting what you just explain. I need to continue to see what you mean in the rest of the course. The instructor is very good and clear. I really enjoyed it.
