I am absolutely in love with this place. It has a family feel, you feel like people who are…read moreappreciated, remembered, missed and welcome each time. I have 2 kids on spectrum who I'm always nervous can't stay on task like the typical kids, or who may look different. Everyone is appreciated for their hard work. There is no criticism, there is always praise, recognition and corrections are done in a discrete private way so kids don't even feel like they're doing things "wrong". Karate dave is a kid whisperer! Heck he's a people whisperer, the kids and parents can't help but hang on every word and direction he gives. He's stern but fun and he "sees" each kid, and the kids recognize that. He makes connections with them that come so natural to him. You can tell that he is all about the kids. I love listening to my kids being taught integrity, responsibility and self control. I currently have 3 kids enrolled and we are going on 2 months loving it! There are tables for parents to sit at, or chairs around whole mat. They welcome parents to help kids or hold up sparring mits for kids. There's an area with a fish tank, books and little chairs for siblings who may need to be kept busy and I believe they have a playground out their back door too :)

They allowed the mom to go down and proceed to attend the class with her daughter. They didn't want to hear me out on why she isn't allowed to be there and that the mom went against our approval. I had to back out of our contract because I didn't want to deal with the headache of the mother stepping over her boundaries and putting me in that kind of situation.

My health is excellent (other than the usual hip and knee replacements! haha). I have great focus, stamina, agility, balance and core strength. I study Tai Chi and they have designed a curriculum with a path to a black belt which encourages you to stretch yourself beyond what you may believe is possible. I highly recommend this studio. Tai chi is late mornings or you can study Kung Fu in the evenings. The instructors are very well trained and are all progressing in their own training as well so you can feel the pull to always be improving yourself. Come join us!
