TESTIMONIALS
Kids,Youth and Adult Classes:
"Since I started training at Shin Wa Kan Dojo, I've seen a tremendous increase in my ability to focus, my strength and confidence. I would recommend this program to any woman who not only wants a great workout, but a wonderful feeling of accomplishment, too. It's never too late to start!" L.L., age 40, mother and homemaker (and a lot more!)

"I have been a student for almost four years. I started when I was nine. I think the biggest thing I have learned is self-confidence and responsibility. Since I started, I have had the confidence to get involved and try other activities too, even going away to a sleep-over camp for a week! I would recommend the classes to anyone who would like to build their self-esteem."

Self-Defense Seminars and Courses
Last year, Donna Murphy Sensei was recruited by the Continuing Education department of the District School Board of Niagara to teach the Self Defense for Females course. The second course finished in April, and the DSBN has invited Sensei back to teach another full course starting October 1/07. Interested parties can contact the school board directly at (905) 687-7000.
"Donna's classes were both fun and empowering. By the end of these classes I felt more confidant and in contol. It was great to see how each of the participants, no matter what their size, were able to use the techniques Donna taught to excel at their own skill level. Each class was different and challenging. I would definitely recommend these classes to every woman. We should all take steps to ensure our own safety and the safety of our families. Thanks fo helping me recognize a dangerous situation before it happens and for giving me the skills to protect myself if necessary." T.D., course participant
I joined self defense with a few colleagues from work without any Martial Arts training. I was expecting to learn basic techniques to protect myself as a woman. Little to my knowledge Donna Murphy exceeded my expectations, and left me a stronger woman both mentally and physically. She builds your self-confidence, courage and inner strength through her psychology of self defense. Her training is extremely useful for any type of situation whether it be a high, moderate, or low risk attacker. Most importantly Donna made the training fun, exciting, yet challenging for each person as an individual.
Through the whole eight week course I have learned the basic techniques, throws, blocks, ashi sabaki and the power of the circle. Donna is an exceptional teacher and a role model for women everywhere. In Donna's words, "the best defense is not to be there".
Thank you Donna for the outstanding training and empowering words that I will never forget!

"I've seen doctors and chiropractors over the last 25 years for my sore back and legs. Within a few weeks of Sei Tai massage I feel better than I have in years. I highly recommend it to anyone with aches and pains or even just to relax. ... When the pain in my back started moving down into my legs and my chiropractor wasn't helping, I decided to try Sei Tai massage. What had been years of pain and discomfort melted away in just a few weeks. I highly recommend it." B.L.
"I have been seeing Donna for approximately 4 months now and it is with pleasure that I provide her with this testimonial. Having Celiac Disease comes with a lot of muscle and joint pain. In the last 4 months, Donna has been able to alleviate this pain almost 100%, and lasting until my next visit. With this disease also comes bruising and Donna always goes a step above and uses an ointment that she combines with the treatment to help with this healing process. I never thought I could feel this good again! Thank you ever so much, Donna! Yours truly, H.E."
"It is with great pleasure that I am able to provide a testimonial for Donna and the massage services she provides. I have been going for massage treatments for about 3 months now and look forward to them each and every time. Donna has a very gentle but firm touch, with a treatment that both soothes and eliminates any soreness or pain that I may bring to her each session. All massage treatments last a full hour, which I have rarely experienced with other massage professionals. But watch out ... you may find yourself falling asleep during your session!" P.G.
