This was a tough course, as it should be. The course is very in-depth and teaches you skills that every Black Belt will need, and use, regularly. With Dr. Vaughn's help, you are guided through the content and helped to find the answers to some pretty tough problems, which is pretty exciting when things "click". I would recommend this course to anyone serious about the journey and not afraid of a little hard work!
