A quick note to students attending sessions @ the HQ in person: you are allowed to tape portions of class, should you want to review it for your own personal training, with the understanding that the materials taped and discussed therein are NOT for public consumption nor are they to be posted on social media platforms without the EXPRESSED permission of the instructor. I’m gratified to know that some are willing to take the extra step to learn and progress and I want to sup...port that in any way I can. Salamat mga kapatid Guro Jeff T. Cruz
