Personal Note:

 By Rod Jones

Be it known that Master Aaron Wilson Sr is one of the best instructors I have ever met.

He is a jack of all trades and Master of them all. He combines tradtitional, old school knowledge, skill and ability with new school attitude, tips and tricks.  He is a man of 10 thousand drills and unlimited philosophy.

If not for Master Wilson rehabilitating me, I would not be in the physical shape I am in now despite my disabilities.   He is my encouragement every day.
