• Toni was awesome! Great instructor and great style that broke down the techniques, so they are easy to replicate and learn.
• I wish there was less of this stuff we already did over and over again in the Academy. Eg. Positioning, moving, pivoting, falling, etc. There was a whole day dedicated to this stuff we already learned maybe shorten that at least.
• Everyone was patient and readjust things that we needed, Toni is the best, it made a huge difference learning from a female than a male who thinks he knows what it’s like to be small
