"You
really know your stuff! I found the group lesson very professional.
You were able to address all our individual needs. I finally found
the technique to stop which gives me total confidence to inline
skate on my own. Thanks!" — Marela |
"Jan,
I came to you to help build my confidence on rollerblades and you
delivered beautifully. Since our lesson, I now have the tools and
skills to allow me to enjoy my rollerblading experience without
worrying whether I will hurt myself or - more importantly - others!
Most of all, I now get out almost daily for a little bit of exercise
and to enjoy the many routes available in Vancouver. I will keep
your name handy when friends or others need some pointers. Thank
you!" — Pierre Thériault |
Jan — Your teaching style is just what I needed! Patient & fun! I enjoyed learning turns, balance drills and most of all, stopping! You Rock! I will be back! — Lucie Walker - Rockin' Country Blues Singer |
"Jan is a very skillful and professional instructor following universal physical activity strategies in his lessons. He is customer oriented, perceptive of his students' progress and areas of improvement and cautious about safety. Anybody that takes lessons with Jan will benefit from them as they will gain confidence on the wheels, catch a healthy breeze of the outdoors and have fun company all along! I myself have taken several hours of Jan's instruction and would highly recommend it." Yours truly — Katarina Dobrovska |
"Wow,
my balance improved tremendously!!! Excellent...Excellent!"
