"I have enjoyed my martial arts journey.  Weight loss, better physical conditioning and the physical ability to better defend myself if necessary are all examples.  However,  I feel that the most significant benefits I've derived from my journey have come in terms of my peace of mind."

"Master MeLisa Strongheart is a dedicated, thoughtful, caring instructor who has not only a love for the martial arts, but for the teaching of the martial arts. She possesses a real skill for finding the right technique to communicate even the most nuanced concept to her students. Master Strongheart treats her students both as equals under her tutelage and as individuals with unique talents and limitations. And through her painstaking attention to detail, she brings out the best in everyone. I should know, because she made a Black Belt out of me!"

Mitch Hall, Student  

"I started classes a year ago and have really enjoyed the atmosphere that Sa Bum Nim Strongheart helps to create.  She shows patience and care in teaching us and has a teaching style that is direct and always respectful.  I appreciate that she spends extra time with us and explains the reasons behind the moves to help put the exercise in perspective. 

I would strongly recommend Sa Bum Nim Strongheart as a teacher and a great role model."
