Recommendation

"Josh is a career martial artist. He began training at a very young age and has continued his quest for knowledge while maintaining his enthusiasm and passion throughout his career. The combination of Josh's passion for what he does combined with an unwavering work ethic make him both a great student and teacher of martial arts. But more than that, Josh has a quality of character that is very rare, this world would be a much better place if more people behaved and presented themselves as Josh does. I am honored to have Josh as not only my student but as a close friend that I admire.  Josh's enthusiasm is infectious, his students pick up on his positive energy and respond with their own positive attitude. Josh is what people expect in a martial arts instructor and leader. We see marketing pitches for martial arts schools that tout the positive benefits of training--self-discipline, self-esteem and confidence , etc.-- however many only learn how to fight never developing the truly important aspects of the training. This is not the case with Josh, he is a great example of all those positive things. Josh Ryer is a young man of exceptional character, intelligence, work ethic and natural talent and these attributes make Josh is an exceptional martial artist and teacher. I am glad to know that this inherently good person and exceptional teacher is out there as an example to anyone that cares to pay attention and benefit from training in martial arts." ~ Master Zach Whitson
