I just can't say enough good things Curtis Karate. For one, my 4 year old gets so much out of being enrolled in Karate remotely. Not only does he get some exercise, he is having fun, and they always call him by name giving him such a personal experience, all-be-it remote. Two, without getting into specifics, their billing practices seem extremely ethical and it's hard finding businesses who demonstrate that. Three, Sensai Kat is so kind, encouraging and fun! Thank you Curtis Karate Team! I can't wait until both my boys can attend in person!
