Annick..

I just wanted to thank you again for the Budokon session. I can
honestly say I have never been able to do anything with such a clear
mind. I was completely focused mind and body, without any outside
distraction. I can see why this would be so popular in big cities.
It was a pleasure to meet you and Cameron. I hope ours paths cross again soon.

Our Budokon weekend felt like a retreat far away somewhere back in the beginning of time. I feel as if I've been to the jungle and met many interesting and fascinating animals some with curious and interesting gaits and then to the orient and perhaps as an extra background person in a kung fu slow motion movie. The whole experience shared with such beautiful and mindful spirits was extremely inspirational and will stay with me forever. I have had such a fantastic day in the ER; I have been filled with boundless energy all day; is this a side effect of budokon?

Again a thousand thanks for introducing me to this wonderful and unique art; I am very proud and excited to be beginning this journey!

Annick, I attended your Ballet Body Classical Conditioning professional workshop last sunday and absolutely fell in love with the program. I had wanted to study ballet since I was little but my parents never really took me seriously. This class really gave me a chance to fulfill a little space in my heart I had always saved for ballet. Thank you. After many years of aerobic training, running and a couple of years doing martial arts, I am currently looking to start teaching, more particularly Ballet body. I am still in pain in places I didn't think I could be in pain ;-) I do hope you will be have more workshops in the future. I have been dancing around my place ever since! Thanks again for the amazing workshop and introduction to this wonderful fitness program.

Thank you so much for the very inspiring class last night, it was fantastic,
i really enjoyed it very very much, there were so many elements of it that
suited me, and I am feeling great today!!

The other people in the class were also really nice, and welcoming, which is
great especially as they were certainly more advanced, a very welcoming
feeling. I found the aspect of Budokon that really resonated with me was the
mind body connection, you really have to think through postures, and the
architectural visualization was really good.

I will continue to try to do Budokon. I think I am a convert!!

Thanks so much again

Le Budukon est pour moi une découverte très importante.
Bien au dela d'une expérience stimulante, au tournant de mes 50 ans,
le Budokon m'apparaît comme un allié merveilleux, une dicipline de vie
pour mieux explorer et profiter de l'aventure de la vie.
Merci de partager votre énergie et votre passion avec nous avec tant de grâce !

Bonjour Annick,

Juste un petit mot pour vous remercier toi, Cameron, tes amis, et étudiants pour la fin de semaine fantastique.

Aujourd'hui, toutes mes fibres musculaires contiennent de l'acide lactique mais je suis content d'avoir vécu l'expérience et le défi. I look forward to see the new DVDs, perhaps the retreat in October and other workshops in the future.

I started with Annick's classes almost four years ago. Every
single class of hers that I attended was truly inspirational. Annick is
different from other teachers because it is so obvious throughout the
session to see how much she genuinely cares that each student is giving
their 110%. Don't think about cheating! The movements, music, energy and
encouragements from Annick are truly motivating and will help you advance
further and further. I encourage every body to explore this experience!

I have been practicing Budokon with Sensei Annick for 5 months now. She is inspirational. I love everything about the class; the people, the physical element, the mental and emotional components.The class is
physically challenging but it also builds a stronger inner strength. When I leave class I feel capable of pushing the limits in my everyday life and that
achieving whatever I want is possible. Annick is an amazing teacher, she has such an intensity, joyfulness and love of what she's doing that you can't help but push yourself that little bit extra.Budokon has made a great impact on my life and I wish that everyone could try it and have their lives affected by this beautiful art.

Annick has an amazing energy that she gives to each and every one of us in her class. She knows how to tap into us and push us to our limit. I greatly enjoyed training with her. She has taught me many secrets about how to train, nutrition, and provided me with great information. I will miss her, and her workouts very much. Thank you so much Annick!
- Anna Tucci

Incredible. I've never felt so alive! Annick is contagious! Classes are exhilarating, fun and fast-paced. From head to toe, you will feel the energy. I leave each class positive, energized and alive, mind – body and soul. Thanks Annick!
- Irene Weiner

Fantastic workout during all the classes. You pushed me harder than any other teacher.
- Tina Dirienzo

Tu es sensas, extraordinaire, tu as toutes les qualities qu'on puisse dire d'un bon entraineur. J'ai plaisir a venir a ton cours, je ne pense qu'a mes exercises avec toi. Je pourrais facilement remplir des lignes et même des pages d'adjectifs pour exprimer ce sentiment d'admiration.
- Gisèle Khalife

Merci Annick pour un cours trés energisant! Nous avons vraiment un bon moral à t'écouter.
- Inaam El Hage

Chaque cour est un défi. Nous sommes certains d'aller au bout de nous-même. professionelle et athlétique. Bravo Annick.
- Samia Harrat

Meilleure connaissance de mon corps, meilleure philosophie de vie. Tu me donne le gout de m'investir et d'aller plus loin. Tu nous entraine vers la perfection avec ton cours excellent.
- Marie Fleury

It's been only six times that I take Annick's class, and it's the best classes I have ever done. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much!

Of the various exercise regimes/disciplines that I have experimented
with in my adult life, my Budokon classes with Annick have been the
most complete and rewarding in many ways.

By complete- I refer to Annick's teachings as being not only an
interesting combination of aerobic, strength, and flexibility
instruction, (with the total being more than the sum of its parts),
but additionally my weekly one hour Budokon experience heightens my
awareness of just how much I can accomplish while discarding previous
notions of my limitations.

Once Annick warmly welcomes the class, she initiates a journey of
challenging and invigorating movements combined with thought provoking
concepts that energize my body, mind, and spirit.

Each class is intellectually stimulating, physically challenging-
providing noticeable results, and spiritually calming - which offers a
precious balance to my active life. One hour of Budokon under the
guidance of Sensei Annick gives me an opportunity to reflect and look
inward resulting in making wiser lifestyle choices.

Whether you just try one class or make a long term commitment to
Sensei Annick you will be grateful for the choice you have made and
the time you have invested.

Immediate gratification & Long term reward.

Bonjour Annick,
J'ai assisté à votre cours de Budokon hier et j'ai été très impressionnée par la discipline et par la qualité de votre enseignement. J'ai donné des cours de workout dans les gyms de Québec pendant 6 ans, jusqu'à mon arrivée à Montréal. Mon intention, ici, était de découvrir de nouvelles disciplines pour me sortir de ma zone confort et j'ai été choyée! Vraiment, votre cours a été une vraie révélation pour moi!

Au plaisir de participer à l'une de vos classes prochainement.
- Annie, Membre Can-Fit-Pro, A.N.I.E.

Annick, you will be happy to know that my 3 year-old son got locked in the bathroom yesterday in my house and I had to karate kick the door down. It's a good thing I take your Monday-Friday KickBox classes. I thought of you.
