The National Stage Combat Workshop was an amazing experience. I learned a lot about combat, teaching, and myself. I not only stepped out of my comfort zone, I jumped directly into the origin of my discomfort. I’m filled with so much inspiration for my own pedagogical approaches. Thank you to my cohort of fellow ISCWs for supporting me and to the brilliant teachers for giving us so much of your talent and time. nationalstagecombatworkshop #drinkwaterandkickass
