If you have kids/teens and live in the Essex/Union county (NJ) areas, PLEASE READ THIS POST…read more I am a 1st Degree Black Belt in Shotokan, I have taught in the past and on occasion I help out in my son's classes. However, 95% of the time, when I take him to Karate, I sit in the truck and have a cigar. If I'm on that mat he's going to be paying attention to me. No matter what activity is going on; even when we're working in different groups, he will always watch me to see what I'm doing. Sure, I can teach my son MY set of skills, but Master Robert Hylton is connected with a vast number of highly skilled fighters & Instructors with decades on top of decades of experience, and because I'm not a hypocrite, when I tell my son I want him to be better than me that means I have to expose him to teachers who are better than me.

Recently, I had the opportunity to bring my preschool children to TKK trial class. I was able to…read moremake an appointment very easily with Carlos, he gave a special discount $5 per child. Man, I thought I hit the "jackpot" because most places are charging $16-$25 per child. Upon arrival, children were greeted and asked to remove their shoes and immediately the instructional course began to take place. He and his assistants were patient, gentle and they made the children feel confident about themselves (praises). They spent one hour with my class and when the children were done they each received a belt to take home (souvenir). This actually was my second visit at this facility and of course I will return in the near future. The best part about of it all, is that I'm supporting a local business and I hope that others will do the same!

He deals with attention issues, as well as social and anxiety issues. My younger son started about a year ago and now he is 6. He can be so sweet but cannot keep his hands to himself if his life depended on it. I have them both at Hands of Life for very different reasons. I truly respect and admire the teaching principles at HOL. Not only are the kids engaged and also having tons of fun while learning martial arts/physical activities, but for my kids specifically, it helps them work on improving their areas of concern. I especially like the chats (example - healthy food ideas) that are given at the end of class. Working on their inner strength is just as important as their physical strength. Their instructors have nothing been short of amazing and Sensei Arthur runs an extremely well organized martial arts school. HOL offers some really fun events such as Jedi academy (with light sabers) which my kids LOVE! My only wish is that I could bring my kids to HOL more than once a week, but as a working parent, I just cannot. We are exceptionally proud and fortunate to be a part of this family!
