The main benefit that I have gained from John’s my coaching was that I started to practice a martial art –
This is something I had been planning to do for years but could not get to – because of work and family commitments.
It has been a great success having John’s kind support, listening, and questioning skills.
I have been enjoying Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) for 2 years so far.
Jonathan was great at supporting me and after every session, he offered great feedback, and I felt energised and optimistic about the future.
10 sessions every 2 weeks. Perfect.
Highly recommend John’s services.
