Review for Sterling S

Hi my name is Olando Rivera I'm the Owner of B.A.Warrior Training Center in Tampa. I would like to say that Sensei Sterling is one of my top black belt that has been training with me for about 7-8 years and is very well knowledge in all that he does as an instructor, he has been a great asset to my gym and is always positive and knowledgeable in all that he does. He is always clean and courteous and very respectful. Olando Rivera wrote on Thu, 18 Feb 2016

    Good Beginners Instructor

    I have tried to teach myself guitar for years. I finally decided to try an instructor and I was blown away. Sterling made learning fun and relaxing. And I learned a lot more in this first hour than i have trying to follow guitar lesson videos. I will definitely be continuing. Erika S. wrote on Thu, 18 Aug 2016
