Master Brooks is not only extremely knowledgeable and experienced in martial arts, but also an incredibly gifted teacher.
In just a few short months, I have learned a surprising amount of practical and effective self-defense techniques. But even more valuable to me, is the sense of self-confidence, and love for physical activity that I have gained from his school. 
One thing that really stood out to me from this school was the willingness of Master Brooks and his instructors to include and work with the skill level and ability of every single person that walks in the door. 
I am very overweight, and I cannot physically do some of the warm-up exorcises or techniques taught in class, but the staff and the atmosphere at CMB have never made me feel uncomfortable for that. Furthermore, while they have worked with me at my ability level, I am also very surprised at their ability to always offer me a challenge that I strive to attain. 
Also, I have to say that if I had kids, I wouldnt hesitate to put them in one of Master Brooks' classes. I have witnessed his ability to work with the youth classes and it is really great see how he can not only teach, but make every moment fun and engaging for the kids.
