The LMN is typically good for one year from the date it's signed. However, your physician may recommend a shorter duration.

Working within the Wing Chun Science system, has helped me understand Martial Arts from a completely different view point. Taking it one step further, and going in depth, not just with the history of the sport. But the physics and geometry behind the movement. Creating a different dimension on how to look at Martial Arts and Kung Fu entirely. I look forward to continuing my Training and learning more about the Art and myself in the process!

I owe a lot of THANKS to Joe at T4F! I've been a member for over 3 years now, and I cannot begin to tell you the accomplishments I've made. It's incredible what our bodies are capable of. I'm stronger, leaner, healthier, and more educated in regards to my fitness, health and nutrition. During my 3 years working with Joe, I've had my 2nd child, worked out throughout my entire pregnancy, and am now back to my smaller self within 6 months of baby #2. Joe is an endless book of knowledge and a great asset to my overall health and fitness. I love the attention to detail in each session to ensure the best workout, he pushes you just enough to make you challenge yourself; each workout is different and a TON of FUN!! I've done both small group and personal training, and it is by far the BEST decision and investment I've ever made! I'm excited to go to the gym each and every week! I look forward to seeing all my workout friends, too! THANK YOU Joe for all your hard work and dedication!
