Whether you have any experience or not, he really takes skill level into account so everyone is learning something new.

She has gotten all of these things in spades and more from Sensei Okamoto and Shane. I cannot praise this facility enough for their commitment to their students and keeping their standards high. Kids with positive adult role models in the home and outside the home generally do better in life. The studies are there. The proof is in the pudding. It's calculable and observable. My kid was a good child before the classes (or at least that's what many have told me) but it doesn't hurt to continue to foster their good traits and positively reward that behavior with a fun activity. Big plus is that she's active physically and learning about health and wellness. She has made awesome friends in class, has an amazing time, and leaves with a huge smile.

While they enjoyed the first school and learned some things, I didn't think they could defend themselves if necessary. TKD Elite is much more well rounded. Master T and Master Kristi and their team of instructors not only cover pumse and skills, they also incorporate adjusting for different fighting styles, self defense techniques, and weapons. Instruction is very detailed. My daughters leave class sweating profusely, tired, and sore every time. And for my daughter's first turnament she got a gold and silver medal! All her other teammates did very well, too. Both girls have acheived an impressive level of confidence and ability to protect themselves and they've made so much progress in so little time since joining TKD Elite. Just like any team, they all win together. While martial arts is not for everyone, we believe that giving our daughters the skills to be safe is important. I know they wouldn't be as safe anywhere else as they are with Master T and Master Kristi.

I probably spend more time at this park year round than any other park in Anchorage proper. It is…read moreconveniently connected to multiple trails and easy to access on foot from most of West Anch, Spenard, Northstar/Valley of the Moon, Midtown, and Downtown. If you've got a bike, you can connect from even further out very easily. As such, the Lagoon looks a lot like a Gilmore Girls community and is popular with people year round. There are frequently small sponsored events going on- the coolest of which involves ice skating in the winter. I personally love this park because it's a great place to bird watch. It's a fragile breeding ground for aquatic birds (take note dog owners - IT IS NOT OK TO LET YOUR DOGS OFF LEASH HERE OR LET THEM SWIM!) Red Neck Grebes are one if the more unusual arctic birds that breed here. The arctic terns also put on quite a show. Various loons and cranes also make an appearance, as well as some unique ducks. There's also an awesome playground and snack bar for the kiddies. A few years ago they also installed a bike counter that tracks the thousands that use the Tony Knowles at various intervals - it's fun to watch the numbers climb as the season goes on. There's also a free bike maintenance station here. Definitely a great location for lots and tourists alike, but parking is a problem, so carpool or better yet, use the trails!

This is a park which also goes by the name also known as Margaret Eagan Sullivan Park, is home to a…read moreman-made water fowl sanctuary, a lake, a disc golf course and a playground. They have private parking lots for you to park free of charge. It is located near downtown and is a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It conveniently lies at the intersection of two of Anchorage's most popular trails, the Tony Knowles and Chester Creek trails. There were many runners traveling through while I was there, going through the two little tunnels that run under the road. You will find benches and picnic tables here to sit around the lake. This is home to lots, I mean lots, lots of waterfowl. They seemed aggressive, so I kept my distance. The disc golf course was nice but was covered in snow and mud. The lake is nice and during the winter is converted to an ice hockey/skating rink. My only complaint is that the park could be a little cleaner, even though part is that could be due to me visiting off-season. There were some maintenance guys there do some other stuff. The park is touted as a great place to bird watch in the spring and you can see other animals such as moose, beaver in the early morning or late evening, muskrats, foxes, otters, and minks, year-round, but it is rare. I did not see any of them. This nature park has a calming kind of peace to it, even though you hear the hum of cars on the nearby road. Just sitting on the bench looking out to the lake was so very soothing. If your schedule permits, I highly recommend visiting this place to just relax and recharge.

There were a few people tenting it, making it a perfect amateur backpacking adventure. Will come again and may pack a picnic.

Unless you really know what you're doing, don't go past the gate in the winter or this could be you!

My mom is a botanist so she got to explore her flowers and plants, I like mountains so we got some nice shots. I would highly recommend Sudevi and her company.

Those poles saved my knees on the way back! I highly recommend this company. I felt I received great value.
