Testimonials

“My first training session was great. Prior to this session I felt intimidated by the thought of attending a class that involved any combat training. In this session I learned some basic moves but I already felt more confident and powerful. Crystle really took time with each of us so we got used to the movement.  A few moves started off challenging for me but with some guidance I started to get more comfortable with the movement. I appreciate that she works with you until you feel ready to face different partners to practice the movement. She does a great job describing scenarios that way you can imagine how to utilize what you are practicing and learning. After leaving the session I felt so empowered that I could not wait to share with friends my experience."

— Participant’s First Session

“Participating in Crystle's FMA sessions have been a challenging and rewarding experience. Over the past few years, I've been thinking about themes of decolonization in terms of my own mental health issues and have been seeking out other forms of therapy that don't necessarily fit into western views of mental health. Crystle's FMA sessions fill that space, and her holistic approach towards healing have been exactly what I've been looking for. The work she has put into these sessions has helped me make a deeper connection to my body and my culture, and subsequently has given me a better understanding of my mental health.”
