    "Corey thank you for coming down to Virginia for the class on a chilly day! We're glad that you liked the class and felt it provided a good opportunity to review the basics and learn new skills for off body carry. If there is anything that could have made the class a "5 star" experience, please let us know! Student feedback is welcomed to help us continuously improve our classes!"
