III Ins classes. Henry eru ourages students to use martial arts as a
means of self improvement Wo attempt to take individuals from
their present position and fat dilate their physical, mental, six ini and
emotional development as related to the martial arts. Henry said
The study of martial arts has always focused on more than ptiysi

Another issue Henry addresses in his classes is the common per
i eption that one must l*e unusually flexible to sm i eed as a martial
artist This perception is unfounded." Henry said "Because these
i lasses address sm h a broad range of motion and activity, there is
something for everyone, flexible and sliff alike
