Sifu Paul,

I've only been with the Shaolin-Do school for just over a week and I must say I haven't been this excited about sport and exercise since the first time I dribbled a basketball as a kid. I can't tell you how despondent I was after my knee injuries and surgery last year and just this week of kung fu and tai chi has completely turned things around.

You and your instructors are excellent and patient teachers, and I really appreciate all that you have taught me in such a short time.

I'm greatly looking forward to my next class and the coming months.

If I can ever do anything to help out at the school, please let me know.

With profound thanks,

Chris Sternberg
