"After my time in the military I sought out Sensei S.C. to catch up after a few years away. He is truly an incredible teacher with an understanding of how to make a student a strong learner and a well-rounded martial artist. I spent a month as an uchi deshi (a live-in student), I was regularly challenged and inspired to grow my art." -Jared L.
"Sensei S.C. is an excellent instructor. He keeps the class engaged with his dynamic teaching style and provides insightful and applicable feedback to students. He cares genuinely about people and is dedicated to helping SR students reach their goals. The AZ dojo is well-maintained and a fantastic place to learn while taking in the desert view." -Maren Anderson
