My daughter has been doing this for a good amount of time now, and is always challenged and encouraged. The instructors all give so many wonderful life lessons and instill wonderful values and morals in the students.
The Karate Bros dojo maintains the highest of standards. What sets them apart from other dojos I've seen is the level of discipline in their students. It is evident with them that karate is a way of life. The actual lessons may start as soon as a student steps on the mat, but they do not end there.
Our son, Truman, goes to grappling zone and we love it! He is only 3, so isn't always focused on class, and the coaches work hard to guide him and build his confidence while also respecting his emotions.
