SUCCESS STORIES
"I completed his level I course and was privileged to get some one on one coaching from Henk the next day. It was definitely a humbling experience. I'm certainly far better now than when I got there, but also think less of my improved skills than I did of the skills I came with. The school is a true national treasure and will help you learn there are things you didn't even know that you didn't know. After this weekend I feel like I finally have the necessary foundational knowledge to no longer be terrible one day, and my conversations with the man running this school only served to increase my desire to improve.
His entire staff of instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and highly skilled people who share his drive to help the students learn, grow, and succeed, and serve as excellent examples of a mantra I've held for a long time, that ego has no place in professional conduct, something they also clearly take to heart. I very much look forward to continuing my journey in processing what I've just learned, practicing it, improving my proficiency...
And then getting into the very next course I can at H.I.T.S."
