Dan Smith is an excellent teacher. He focuses on fitness and form. He's a true steward of the art. He's very patient and is not creating a "puppy mill" of MMA fighters. The program is a great cardiovascular workout and teaches practical self-defense skills. You will not find a better instructor and friend.
