| - From our oldest son who is almost a black belt, "This place is amazing. It gives me so much self-esteem, discipline, loyalty, and a lot of other life skills. I learned so much discipline, that I obey my parents most of the time (99%)."
I wanted our children to enroll in a sport, but I wanted it to be indoors (out of the Arizona heat and sun), year-round, and a place in which the whole family can be involved. They have a seating area for families to watch their children practice, similar to bleachers on a soccer or baseball field. I was able to nurse our baby while watching our older children practice. I also appreciate the flexible schedule as they offer multiple classes and class times throughout the week. Fun games are incorporated into the curriculum which keep the classes fun and interesting.
A most-important aspect of the martial arts paradigm is self defense, which is always covered. They keep you on your toes. The students are able to learn so many life skills, such as honesty, respect, discipline, self esteem, confidence, eye contact, and time management. I appreciate the school's star paper/sticker program, which reinforces praise, good behavior, self esteem, and confidence. The instructors also discuss goal setting. With practice, guidance, and support, our children are able to earn their achievements by way of belt ranking, tournaments, and being healthier. Students are able to exercise and stretch, since these are a part of the classes. I commend this business and the family who operates it. They are professionals, yet down-to-earth, and they are like a second family. Strong bonds are formed in this dojang. A++!
