On October 10, 2007, Dr. Tim Sheehan came to
For one hour, Dr. Sheehan engaged the minds of these young men. He challenged their ideas of what martial arts really are and provided them with accurate information. He invited them to truly think about what they mean when they use words like “good,” “bad,” and “respect.” And, he talked with them about the development of character and how the choices we make become “tracks” in our minds; eventually, the tracks become ingrained to a point where we can’t leave them. With that in mind, making positive, life-affirming choices becomes even more crucial. The students responded extremely well to Dr. Sheehan and his message.... The entire experience was nothing short of fantastic.... As I walked by one of my quieter students, he looked at me, grinned, and said, “That was really cool! Can we do it again?” Thank you, Dr. Sheehan. You are welcome in this classroom any time. Travis Burns |

| ... I had no clue where this introductory class would lead. What I thought would be a short summer course in the basics of Tai Chi triggered an interest that became a way of life and personal growth for me that makes all other "human potential programs" pale by comparison... You and your students have been exceptional, and I honor and respect all that happens at the WCMA. Thank you!
I expect to be away from Laramie for extended periods of time. Can you recoommend any schools in the Flagstaff area? Sincerely, Thomas Cogswell |
