I'm Feeling Good


I feel extremely fortunate to train at SRKF. I have to admit that it wasn’t easy taking the first step to come in the first time and the first couple of classes were a little tough as I was trying to learn the ropes and figure out who everyone was and so on. But from day one, everyone was friendly and very supportive of one another (and of me also) and the instructors are all great. My instructor in particular is an amazing teacher. She is patient and is great at explaining things and breaking them down so someone like me can understand them. As a student, I have a ton of resources available to help me learn. We have online message groups for questions and there is a wealth of knowledge there if you actually look for it. Everyone is happy to answer my questions (I seem to have a never-ending supply unfortunately).

I had another great class last night and it’s a testament to the quality of my instructor and my classmates that even though I feel like I struggle with the techniques that I’m taught, I didn’t come away feeling discouraged, but instead I felt good about my progress. I think it also helps that I’ve been noticing improvement in myself again. I feel like my flexibility and balance are coming along (albeit very slowly) and seeing the improvement is extremely motivating.
