I met the author Ryan today and he is an amazing person with wisdom beyond his years. Truly a Santa Barbara gem.

This book is a must have - especially for young adults. Get your free copy on Kindle or better yet, buy the hardcopy as a gift for someone. - Master Curtis

Happy Birthday, Master Awesome!

A few years ago, a young student referred to Master Austin as Master Awesome because he thought that is what everyone else was calling him. The name has stuck because he is exactly that. Awesome.

He is not only the head instructor and owner at Santa Barbara Dojo, but also a trustworthy role model to the students, his family, and this community.

Have a wonderful day, sir!
