Testimonials

"Isaac,
I really wanted to stop and thank you. When I joined your class for the first time last fall, I was actually quite depressed. I was at wits end... just totally down in the dumps. Doing the kickfit class with you and the wonderful group of people you have there really pulled me out of one of the hardest times that I have ever experienced. Can you believe it? You totally saved my mental sanity! Must have been those hamstring exercises :)
Anyway, I was reminded of that tonight in class when I brought Sarah. She is not a crazy athlete like our friend Ms. Katie, but she is a wonderful person with a great attitude and is also having a hard time in life at the moment. I really encouraged her to come with me to class tonight, and on the way home she was just beaming... she was as happy as I have seen her in weeks. I mean we could start a motto here... "hybrid Hapkido: better than therapy."
I really just wanted to use this opportunity to thank you so much for all that you do. Sometimes your class is the only thing I look forward to all day. You are great, so keep it up. Enjoy your trip and I will see you next week. I promise I won't be missing another class until I graduate."

"Master Costley,
I had a great time tonight. I was impressed with the techniques I saw. This was a lot closer to what my first TaeKwon-Do school was like then the last two I have attended (one in Washington DC, and USTA here) and that is a bit of the criteria I use to judge, if you don't mind. Above all, it seemed practical and applicable. *This* to me is what a martial arts class if for, and is actually what I originally thought Taekwondo was all about as well."

"Master C really is an amazing instructor. He takes an effort, not often seen, to show students the importance of integrity, perseverance, and hard work."

"I have studied the martial arts all over the country and have not met a more qualified or knowledgeable instructor than Isaac."

"Isaac is an Instructor who truly cares about his students and takes the time to make sure that they know what they need to succeed. You can't really say which Martial Art is better, but Hybrid Hapkido takes a mixture and gives you the ultimate in Self-Defense."

"Of the martial arts training I have had, Master C's is definitely the best. This is easily the best class I have ever seen for conditioning, period."

"I walked away from a paid up year at another school to train with Master C. It was that obvious that he really knows what he is doing and how to teach!"

"AWESOME!!!
We took your class and there is nothing else we can say. It was demanding but very worth it. It is by far the best that we have seen and experienced and VERY AFFORDABLE. Thank you for allowing us to become a part of your family."

"What you do for the kids is wonderful. You teach the kids that the only thing limiting their potential, is THEM."

"The unbelievable gift that you have to bring out the very best in children... the combination between sternness and total, utter fun, and the striving for perfection, and even more importantly how you are able to teach them honor, integrity and respect is just amazing."

"Your time, knowledge and commitment set yourself apart from the others who have "trained" us in the past. I know that I speak for many of those on my team when I say that you have distinguished yourself. I for one will continue to train under you."

"Your open mind to mixing the best of the martial arts techniques together has helped me to grow a lot."

"Your words of inspiration and motivation gave me the strength and determination to push myself further than I ever thought possible."

"I thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for your dedication, inspiration, warmth and professionalism."

"You guys are awesome and what you do is very valuable. Please know that I very much appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm. You opened my eyes to a whole new world and opportunity!"

"We need more organizations like Calvary Family Hybrid Hapkido"
