For those of you who haven't upgraded to attend the live classes and access the growing training library, you're missing an incredible opportunity. Yesterday's class alone was packed with valuable knowledge and practical insights. In more than 45 years of martial arts training—including my time as a U.S. Army Ranger and Green Beret, and training under exceptional instructors across numerous martial arts systems—I can honestly say Guro @Mark Mikita ranks among the very best I've had the privilege to learn from. If you're serious about improving your skills, this is an investment in yourself that's well worth making.

Will the class on the 28th be uploaded? I attended, but I was hoping to review again-- lots of info so was tough to keep up.

My Sunday is wide open. What about shifting the online class to Sundays? Timing is up to you guys -m I can do morning, afternoon or evening - just SPEAK UP! We can start tomorrow... but I need you to SPEAK UP! If it works for you, post a few time windows and let's figure out one that can serve the most members. Let's do this!

My two cents...I can appreciate people hesitating on any subscription these days and I cannot spend other people's money. However, I can share my experience/decision. I simply took it as a opportunity to review ALL my expenses/subs and I 'found' the money...easily. Where? My 'lifestyle creep' expenses- those that were impulsive, emotional, unplanned spends is where I found the upgrade money. I cut back on expenses that were not doing me any good in a substantive way [ for me it was Amazon, Starbucks, ChatGPT, Netflix etc.- and some silly impulsive daily expenses ] then I made the decision to upgrade. It was literally like less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day [sadly]- $1/day ish? As for the training? I find 'gold' every time I watch a lesson and I don't even know what I am seeing some times! I am a newbie, but I old enough to recognize fundamental principals that I know will open up a host of methods- when I see it and -- I can feel it but it relies on banking more time and exposure into it. Lastly, I am not a fanboy. I am not an instructor--[ if I was, this is a no brainer- since you would spend 10x on seminars meant to upkeep skills, build business etc] . I am a senior. I am a beginner, I am Canadian, I have 'dabbled' in martial arts and seen dozens of schools, seminar programs so, in my opinion, I think I know value and ROI when I see it. I am Canadian so that $1/day is more like almost $2 in our currency. Lastly, on a personal note, I don't want to lose out on affordable classes in the only format that works for me, as I cannot attend classes in person. Again, it's your money but I would encourage everyone to take a good look at their expenses and allocate according to value...start a 'study group' if you can, be bold and get your own students on board, show them that learning mentality. Anyway, apologies for long comment but this is essential life skill training in my opinion, so I chose to assign some essential spending to it by eliminating some non-essential spending. Simple.

Long before I ever even thought of starting this whole Skool thing, my wife got tickets to Phantom of the Opera for tomorrow evening. So, as you can understand, I will not be doing the online class tomorrow. Let’s talk about switching it to earlier in the day on Sundays. That would be easier for me. - M
