I received the following testimonial from Keith Harris at a Networking meeting that I attend on a Friday Morning. Keith has been coming along to classes for about two years. The testimonial was delivered with such honesty and conviction that there were several leaky eyes in the room. I would like to thank Keith for his friendship, commitment and example.
‘Often when we give testimonials we focus on the service or product we received. Rarely would we comment on a special friendship that has evolved, I am pleased to say that this is what has happened with Matt.
Two years ago I sat like many of you have done in this room listening to Matt’s 60 seconds, spoken by anyone else they would have been just words about exercise, wellbeing and martial arts, I would have ignored them as I had so often in my lifetime, but spoken by Matt they carried such passion and conviction that I signed up to try a class or two.
Now I think it’s important to put you in the picture here, I was fast approaching 60 years old. Birthdays of such magnitude get you thinking. I had not really done any serious exercise since my boys were at school and they are now 30 and 32. When I was younger the idea of a contact sport was not something I would embrace, swimming being my main sport and cycling. So to even go along to the Health and Fitness class (no Martial Arts in this one!) with Matt says a lot about him, he empowers you to trust him and you believe that this will be good for you and it is!
Over the years I had got into bad habits, my posture was bad, my walking strained, as were my ankles and my confidence in my ability to just walk down a street even, was at an all-time low. As you get older, faced with a group of rowdy people, you probably opt to cross the road. So I was badly in need of some help, I knew I should not be like that.
I won’t tell you about Matt’s classes as after hearing this if you have not already started them I hope this gives you the imputus to at least try, but I will tell you about the affect he has had on my life.
I walk taller, I feel taller, my confidence in my physical presence has improved, I breathe more easily, I cope with stress more easily, my movement has improved, I can catch, I balance and roll about on the floor without hurting myself, I can do push ups, sit-ups, squats and rolls. I really feel like I am pushing back the years. Yes it takes some work – but boy is it worth it!
So thank you Matt, your product is me, the service is you and our friendship is ours!
