The classes they run
“I was looking for someone who knew what they were doing, was great with kids, but firm so as they would be taught respect, discipline, karate and have a great time learning.”

From the reviews
For anyone who happens to see this if looking for a martial arts program for you child, BB4L is an excellent option. I do not have child in the program. We did a trial class and unfortunately our location does not work out for the times the classes are offered due to traffic.
Mr Mac is very good with children. He's patient, but firm and the kids really respect him. He teaches adults, as well, and makes learning easy and most of all FUN!
I was looking for someone who knew what they were doing, was great with kids, but firm so as they would be taught respect, discipline, karate and have a great time learning. I didn’t want to have to make him go to class I wanted him to look forward to going to class.
We tried another dojo before BB4L but Sensei Mac, by far, has the best program. His dedication to instilling the necessary life skills to the children is second to none. I have watched my three boys grow in their confidence, respect, and discipline. If you want the best for your kids, you want Black Belt 4 Life.
Your first Karate class at Black Belt 4 Life
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
