Sensei Varela is an amazing instructor. He has so much patience and can really relate to his students. I have two boys that currently work with Sensei twice a week. In such a short time, he has taught them so much. They are currently working on their orange belts and I see the both of them sticking with karate for a long time. Sensei works with our schedule so both boys can participate. My older boy also plays tackle football and so only can go to practice one time a week during season. Sensei encourages his students to play other sports as well. I really appreciate that though students are at different levels/belts, he gives everyone a chance to practice their levels. My family and I are so happy that we found Sensei Varela. Thanks for making this such an enjoyable experience!
