…The drills are laid out in perfect sequence..each small skill learned is a step closer to the big picture! The video, production, and editing qualities are very good….I can’t wait to start working on the EDGING DVD.
Thanks…Your Building Blocks Training has been a TOTAL GAME CHANGER for me over the last 18 months! My style is always evolving for the better and I still regularly go through your drills…….
