I've been attending the school for 3 years with both of my girls who are now 10 and 13. It has got me back into better shape., and for my girls they have learned some valuable life skills. I honestly hope they are never in a situation that they would have to use their karate skills, but I at least feel they have been given the ability to get out.
This year my 5 yr. old started in the beginner, and wife started in the Adult only classes, and it has become a great family activity. It is fun watching my older girls work with both of them, since as brown belts they have to help with the instruction in other classes.
The instructors are great, and Holly has been an awesome role model for both my girls. She has a wealth of martial arts knowledge, and is great with the kids. With the 8 to 10 different black belt instructors we are exposed to a wide range of styles and techniques in martial arts, self defense, and sparring areas.
After 3 yrs, I highly recommend that anyone should take some sort of martial arts in their life. And if you have kids I would rank this up with a skill just as important as reading and writing. The fitness and self-confidence that it has provided for my girls has built them a foundation for pursing whatever they want.
And with the world we live in today for girls and boys. I feel I've given them the best chance to get out of the bad situations they may face.
Thank you, and I hope to see you at class.
