This will sound super corny, but Lions has dramatically improved my life. Lions is incredibly welcoming, and absolutely non-toxic. I love practicing and sparring with my classmates, because we’re all working together to improve our practice with zero animosity. Lions is a safe space where I’ve learned to protect myself, and in the meantime I’ve made lasting friendships and gained a hell of a lot of confidence. Everything we learn has real-world application, and I walk away feeling smarter and stronger. The instructors really know their stuff; they tell you why you’re learning, how it will be useful and how to advance certain material. In short, I’m hooked!
