president and owner manufacturing
company here in Houston let’s see I’ve
been here for about two and a half or
three years well I was looking for an
avenue to work on my conditioning keep
my weight under control a little bit of
a competitive environment like being in
a team atmosphere and only martial arts

through a judo school before and it have
been about six months since I love that

on a team like competing with other
people so the elite martial arts

everyone works together for the
betterment of other people in the school

other I didn’t I didn’t have any kind of
negative experience I got a referral
from a friend of mine there is not one
person that I’ve met in this club that I
don’t like working with well I mean my
blood pressure is better I mean my
conditioning is significantly better my
move is significantly better just a much
better frame of mind

a couple of other schools so I knew
pretty much what to expect let’s met the
expectations yeah absolutely if I miss a
session I could tell mentally from my
stress level I need to make sure that I
get back and get after and as far as a
self-esteem issue you know if you’re in
