My 9yr old son tends to be nervous to try new things. After several attempts to get him involved in sports he agreed to try karate. We can see the confidence karate has given him in just a few weeks. Logan has made a shy, timid little boy cone out of his shell. He is enjoying this new fun and rewarding experience. He looks forward to his time with Logan and is open to try new things each week. We are grateful for a clean, friendly environment to bring our children to. His twin sister loved watching so much she is now trying out karate. Highly recommended especially for a shy kiddo!!
