Fantastic Podcast
I’m an old student of Sensei Hoover, and I’ve got to say that I’m very happy to have this podcast with me as I go through college. I trained for about 6 years under him and he really is a fantastic mentor and Sensei. This podcast makes me really want to come back to train. Sensei Sean says hi!
