I’ve had the pleasure of attending the MA morning classes led by Mr. Cody and Natalie, and I can confidently say they’ve been a game-changer for my practice and motivation. The balance between discipline and encouragement in their instruction is just right. Mr. Cody brings a strong presence and clear expertise, consistently pushing students to improve with structured, purposeful drills and thoughtful corrections. His approach keeps the class focused and energized. Natalie complements this with a warm, attentive teaching style that makes every student feel seen and supported. Her explanations are clear, and she takes time to ensure each student understands the techniques—whether it’s refining form or building confidence. Together, they create a positive, professional, and inspiring environment. Whether you’re just starting out or have experience, this class sets a tone that helps you grow, physically and mentally. Highly recommend this morning session for anyone looking to start their day with discipline, strength, and great instruction.

I can’t say enough great things about this school! From day one, Ms. Juli, Mrs. Ashlie, and Ms. Alicia have been the absolute best. Each of them brought something unique to the learning experience—Ms. Juli was so hands-on and patient, Mrs. Ashlie made every lesson clear and easy to understand, and Ms. Alicia’s encouragement really helped build my confidence. I’ve learned so much more than I expected, not just about the craft but also about professionalism and client care. If you’re thinking about attending, do it! The support, education, and positive environment here are everything you need to succeed.💓☺️
