If I see that rep again though, I got something for em. Fuckin con artist.

IMO Brabble is the best instructor there. Well knowledgable and he most definately knows his shit. He's not in it for a paycheck like most of them, he's there to help and educate. ATI is underrated for partying, ....and Mr (safety glasses)Peka blows.
This pretty much sums up everyone's experience with ATI. Read the rest of the thread I quoted from. You'll think twice. One of my roommates at ATI took the High Performance Class and he said it wasn't all that.
