Sensei Andy and the crew here are incredible leaders and teachers to their students. My son is progressing quickly and is growing leaps and bounds in terms of his hand/eye coordination, mental focus and resilience. The skills taught are actually useful in "real" situations and helpful for self defense, but in my opinion the biggest gain the students get are in discipline, mental fortitude and confidence. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for martial arts, karate or exercise options!
