I have trained at this school for nine years and in the time I have spent there it is only now that I can really look back and see how much I have gained from my experience at this school. In the beginning it was all about developing my martial skill, but as I progressed I began to ingrain the set of moral values that my parents have tried to drum into my head for years. I have been given numerous challenges to help improve myself and I have been instilled with a work ethic that helps me earn the goals I wish to achieve. This is not a school for those who like to get things without putting in the effort, but the confidence and joy I have had from persevering, through the challenges of gaining skill and learning how to teach those skills, will stick with me for life. What further amazes me is how much I pay to gain both martial skill and a mentor who has been a second father to me. I spent time looking into the prices at other martial arts schools with Olympic/international champion level instructors and many of these schools charge up to $300 a month just for one martial art while I can study four at Chu's for less than half the price.
