I’d highly recommend Harry’s work. He’s an excellent instructor. Very knowledgeable as well as very articulate in his teaching. The content is delivered brilliantly and at a very high level of quality. This course is short but detailed and very well thought out. Ideal for beginners as well as more intermediate practitioners wanting to sharpen their skills and refresh their understanding of the basics.

Harry’s course is full of value! Not only does he explain each step and terminology in a simple manner, he breaks down each module in a way that one could easily visualize and follow how a technique is properly done. If this is how much information his free course can give, what more could his paid course provide. Looking forward to learning from your full course!

I joined this course in the original "beta" version, Challenge January, and it was a great start of the year and restart after months of too little activity due to covid-shutdowns. It was pretty perfect - the course is structured so that you can both feel and measure your progress, yet it's short and sweet enough that it's not a chore to do the daily exercises. Coupled with a neat set of mental exercises, it's perfect for someone who needs to set themselves a little challenge to get started getting fit - or to restart themselves after a period of inactivity.
