"I only had a couple trial classes over a decade ago with Mr. Lessei."
"I used to work out with a former student of his, a guy who had only a couple months’ worth of experience under Mr. Lessei, and I soaked up every kick, defense, lock, and deflection. That student was nevertheless a cocky jerk who only put down his past teacher, along with everyone else."
Stickboxer Matt,
I appreciate your response, thank you. You stated you trained with me over a decade ago and traveled 2 hours to train and then trained with a former student of limited experience. I am curious as to who you both are and where you traveled from to train with me. Feel free to e-mail me.
I have had many students in my 20 years as a martial arts instructor. I have had students commute from the Quad Cities, Cedar Rapids, Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Springville, Iowa City, Epworth, Maquoketa, Ames and Des Moines in Iowa and also Platteville, Prairie du Chien and Madison in Wisconsin. I am sure I am forgetting a few of the places people have made the trip from to train at my gym. Anyway, I guess my point is that I welcome people to come and train at my gym. Forgive me if I can't remember you or the "guy" you trained with that only had a couple months experience.
Thank you for the kind words and I forgive the misunderstanding. Take Care and keep training.
JAH Bless
Dean
