Way Of The Crane is a very special place and fantastic dojo. My 11yo has gone here for a year and we all love it. The instructors are truly invested in the development of the children and go out of their way to work one on one with the kids. Melanie Sensei is an incredible teacher-firm, honest, motivating, funny, and full of wisdom. Everyone here really cares and takes the time to teach from the heart. The values that are instilled here will last a lifetime. We tried other dojos in the past but this dojo is authentic and so worth our time and love. Thank you so much for all your care with our kiddo!!!
Melanie and Maggie are amazing women and excellent instructors! I host two trail running retreats in Boulder, CO (per year) which include a StreetWize Self Defense session. My retreat participants love the class and have a great time learning useful techniques from Melanie and Maggie. The class is informative, the techniques are easy to understand and apply, and the people are inspirational. I highly recommend Way of the Crane!
I had been seeking a class like this for my two daughters, one of whom is going to college this year. I wanted something along the lines of "how to survive the most important 10 seconds of your life, if diplomacy fails", and Sensei Melanie delivered. I now have confidence that if my daughter is in a bad situation, she will have the knowledge, strategy and tactics in her toolkit to survive and get away. I feel like this was a Top 10 Parenting Decision in our 18 years of raising kids.
