What Students Love About Continuing Education I strongly agree that what I expected to learn in my photography class really matched what I learned. In fact, it not only matched what I expected, it GREATLY exceeded it. It was a wonderfully thought out class with excellent, honest and constructive critiques. I would love to have the opportunity to take another photography class with Richard Dennard. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Abigail Gage

Debbie Baxter-Robison Debbie Baxter-Robison is a certified Black Belt instructor in the art of Bujinkan Ninjutsu. She began training in 1988 at the Atlanta Bujinkan Atlanta Dojo and was Vice President of the Bujinkan Columbus Dojo. Mrs. Baxter-Robison earned her 1st-degree black belt in 1993 and her 2nd-degree black belt in 1996. She also earned the honorary title of “Shidoshiho” or “Teacher of the Bujinkan” in 2002. As she taught students, she noticed that women were “falling through the cracks” and not learning adequately how to defend themselves. Debbie’s first 6-week basic training course was developed in 1994, and since then, many ladies have graduated from this course knowing that they do not need to be a “victim.” Mrs. Baxter-Robison is a current member of the Association for Women’s Self Defense Advancement. Her motto for her students is “You have a choice...” and students soon discover from Debbie that they truly do.
