I am grateful for...My family, My Karate Instructors, and Myself. - Words of my 9-year-old daughter, as written on her karate worksheets. I never planned on being a single mother, but sometimes life sets you on an unexpected path. Being a single mom is one of the hardest, most empowering things I've ever done. I wish I could return to the moment in time when I enrolled my three young children and myself for LTSD. I wish I could whisper in that new single mom's ear and say, "This is a flagship moment in your new life; this is going to transition you and your children into finding you are stronger than you ever imagined." Together we have entered numerous karate competitions, ranked up several belts, and dragged ourselves to class when we would rather stay home on screens; we have found grit, bravery, hope, and a new family...a karate family. I am also an educator. The students and young black belt instructors are a vision of hope in a world that sometimes feels hopeless; watching them instruct my children makes me know the world will be okay. Karate kicks hopelessness. All the AP and honor classes in the world could not compare to what path this will set your child on. I used to carry a grief that darkened my soul. You never forget a pain like a fog that lingers in your mind and heart forever. And one day, that fog lifted, and I think that one day was when we started karate.

The classes for younger children that my son attends have a good mix of instruction and activities to keep the kids engaged and active. They have a nice area for parents to sit and for my daughter who is not yet old enough for karate to play while her brother trains. I have done martial arts for years and TOKPV came recommended. Looking at the curriculum I can see why. It is a real quality art and the dojo has a family feel to it. They teach good values of hard work and responsible use of the karate.

They treat everyone equally, and care greatly for their students being "educated" about karate-do (karate as a way of life). From the importance of respect for others, to self-respect for oneself, their approach is truly holistic and hands-on. Yet they never lose sight of the key ingredient: proper training in the art of karate. Kids benefit greatly through increased concentration needed to take part in each class. I would guess it translates into better experiences, and grades, at school as well. Highly recommended!!
