Congrats! I took the same course a few months back but just missed distinguished by a few points... Also won the steel challenge
FS is a great jumping off point to get you started in weapons training. I've had numerous instructors all say that when it comes to the basics, FS does it best or darn near it. I wish they would update their curriculum a bit to include modern advancements in stance and grip, but there is certainly nothing wrong with the way they teach it.
Glad to hear you had a good time! If only they would let you use one of those $89 deals for more than one course...
