Over the last 5 years at SCMA, I’ve gained skills, fitness and lots of friends, but most importantly for me, I’ve gained confidence. I walked into that first session with the lowest self esteem a person could have, and I left the session today with a black belt, knowing that I’ve pushed myself harder than my 13-year-old self ever thought I could. Thank you so much to everyone at South Coast Martial Arts for effectively helping me become who I am today.
