She took the time to overcome my fears of diving by teaching safety first and helping me understand how to not panic in the unlikely event something might go wrong. By covering those fears, I was able to enjoy my ocean dives and the peacefulness and undeniable beauty that an ocean dive brings. I have now had at least a dozen dives starting at 15 feet and working my way down to 100 feet and feeling comfortable at all levels. I am looking forward to my next dive trip with Scuba Explorers coming up soon. These trips are not only fantastic underwater but the comraderie and enjoyment Leslie's group of people share on a trip to the exotic places is unbelievable, I highly recommend Leslie O'Neill as an instructor and trip coordinator.

It appears they did not refill the lower unit with oil (see photo). There is no sign of an oil leak after running the boat many times since I refilled it. They have no explanation of where the oil went but claim they are not responsible. I even asked if a pressure test concluded there was no leak would that be an indication that they didn't fill it with oil, but they said it couldn't possibly be their fault. I have been a loyal annual customer since 2012, but they have now told me to take my business elsewhere. I recommend not doing business with their service department. If I find a leak, I will gladly update this review.

I had no idea what to expect but I've been looking to spice up my workout routine and Voler provides some of the most fun/challenging workouts I've ever had. Rachel creates a welcoming and safe environment to try new things and enjoy some sincere belly laughs. Going to Voler has taught me not only about acroyoga and aerial silks, but also about life. Rachel is an empowering role model for women and men alike. Is it a coincidence that Voler is in a church and it happens to be my new spiritual home?

Thanks to Groupon, this was definitely the best $20 I've spent in a VERY long time. We signed up for two Saturday introductory classes and had no idea what to expect. NOTE: Voler is located on the fourth floor of The Loft, located in the West Bottoms of downtown KC. For those who have never been there, this building is possibly one of the sketchiest places I've ever seen in my life, but...just take a deep breath, call Voler for the entry code (eek), muster up the courage to make it through the dilapidated, drafty lobby through the rusty doors, and walk all the way to the back of the dark, dusty warehouse to the huge freight elevator that looks like it's out of a haunted house. You know, no big deal. But I promise (I promise!) it's delightful once you get inside, with lights strung from the ceiling and eccentric art (probably from Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School...but that's another story) everywhere! These lessons turned out to be a true testament to how little upper body strength I have, and it definitely gave my core muscles a run for my money. For both lessons, we had a fantastic instructor who made it all look effortless but unfortunately, I can't remember her name... :( We learned how to do foot locks and climb the ribbon, as well as do some beautiful/photo-worth/exhausting poses. In the second lesson, we even learned to do a fall, which is possibly one of the most exhilarating/frightening things I've ever done. Needless to say, I came out of each lesson completely exhausted (but the good kind of exhausted, of course.) If only I still lived in Kansas City...I know I'd be here every week!

Someone had posted a real on Instagram about this park and so I decided to bring my two grandkids…read moreto try it out. It is a neighborhood park in an upscale neighborhood. There is no parking lot, so you have to park on the street. It is a very small park that has Astroturf in the play area. It is immaculately, clean and attractive with pretty landscaping and a little bridge to watch a small waterfall (it was not turned on at the time I was there). I believe that there is a couple that owned the property and donated it for a park in honor of their daughter. It does not have a lot of things, but enough for small children to keep them occupied for a short while. They have a nice covered bench swing while watching their child. While it is a lovely neighborhood park I think kids will lose interest more quickly if they have a lot of energy to get out.

But a nice playground overall

Oh where do I start? Hang in there with me, this is sure to be a long one. My family of 5 all…read moreattended classes at Long's Shotokan for nearly 5 years. I took every adult class available; my kids took every kid's class available. 3/5 of us obtained shodan black belts under Mark Long over the course of the 5 years. All of that said, we had never been at another dojo so we were just rolling with the blows, not knowing that dojo life could be any better. Now that I have left, I know it can be infinitely better. Firstly, before testing for my shodan black belt, we each had "interviews" with Mark Long where he asked us one thing we liked and didn't like about either the testing process or the dojo in general. I told him that my dislike would be the many inconsistencies; i used his schedule as an example because it changes, unannounced, at least twice a year. The last schedule change cut classes down to 30 minutes, half of which is spent listening to sermon-like lectures and not working out. I was well aware of the dojo's Christian stance from the day I joined, as there are crosses and bible quotes hanging in the lobby, so that is not the issue here. The issue is that I was paying nearly $300 a month to learn self defense, not go to church. And okay, his rants aren't always religious themed, sometimes they are so far off in left field that I truly can't follow. Onto more inconsistencies though, to obtain your shodan black belt there is a grocery list of requirements you must meet to be eligible for testing. Some of these include: must have a yellow belt in aikido, must have an orange belt in judo, must have attended 4 tournaments, must pass the physical endurance part of the test (50 pushups, 50 situps in 3 minutes, followed by 50 jumping jacks and 50 burpees). I have witnessed many tests where the testers did not have these requirements met and were still allowed to test and pass. Just this past summer, I watched a man test for his Nidan (2nd degree) and pass without knowing the nidan kata or his self defense. I started to realize that he is running a belt factory. When I came to this realization I feared that perhaps I had been a product of the belt factory too, but I put those fears to rest when I remembered that on my own Shodan test, I was pulled into the office by the black belt board and told that I was "out-performing the rest of the students" and to "share some of my enthusiasm with the other students." sorry/not sorry, I took my training and testing very seriously because my entire reason for training in martial arts was to learn self defense to protect myself and daughters. It is VERY serious. But onward, my family is a mixed (caucasian and mexican). Over the years, Mark Long made multiple underhand racist comments towards my daughter and my husband. Another former black belt of his went on to work on the Border Patrol. He came to visit family and came into the dojo to train. Mark Long put him and my husband to spar one another and thought it was hilarious to announce that the Border Patrol Agent could beat my Mexican husband & send him back home. Let me add here that my husband was born in the states, this is his home. This exact same sparring match happened the next time that black belt visited too. (I am good friends with that black belt and even he has expressed the distaste that left him with; he felt extremely uncomfortable with it and considered walking out each time.) He would often make "Mexican hat dance" jokes to my daughter's footwork. He once did the Hitler hand salute while talking about Trump, in the dojo, during business hours. One of his other black belts told him that was inappropriate and he laughed it off. At a different time, he was talking about rolling a magazine on an airplane with the intent to beat a Muslim man because he feared he was a terrorist... he made a joke about terrorists yelling "aloha snack bar" before committing terrorist acts. He also called my very dark skinned daughter "Brown Bug" for years, when she repeatedly told him that she didn't like that name. He played it off as a term of endearment, but now I truly question that. When I went into the office to cancel our payments and leave the dojo, he had the audacity to question my husband's citizenship and say that perhaps he was here on a work visa. Again, I add that he was born in the states and we have been a member of the dojo for 5 years... he knew my husband was American. In the same conversation he listed off HIS black belts, "I have Mexican black belt; black belt who is a black guy, I have black belts that are gay, trans, etc." Which really threw me back because who keeps track like that? And portrays them as HIS? It's extremely disturbing. He told me 6x in an hour, "if you don't agree with me, get out and never come back." this is proof that you are not welcome there if you do not share his ideologies. The list goes on but it appears I have met the max character amount for a review and I cannot continue.
