I've learned confidence from being encouraged to do things that would have before scared the life out of me. (Being strangled, having my eyes covered etc)
I've learned how much fun I can have being thrown around and having punches thrown at me!
And most important, I have met people who have had a major impact on my attitude, my way of life and my thinking. I believe I have joined an art and school that is special.
