0:36 – What I like the most about the training is the fact that it’s getting your body and your mind stronger, because every class you get to test yourself both physically and mentally and it’s making me stronger.

0:57 – I think they [the coaches] are really trying hard to make sure you’re learning a skill, and that’s what I love. That I really feel like I’m paying for something, something that’s going to stay with me for life. They really work hard, that’s right, and they’re really friendly.

1:28 – Some people might think that it’s just a bunch of knuckleheads who are violent guys, but that’s not the case. It’s the opposite, actually, it’s really nice people trying to make themselves better.
