My 6 yr. Old daughter has been enrolled in Everson's Karate Institute's Tiny Tigers' program for the last 6 months, and I just can't say enough good things about the program, Master Everson, his lovely wife Diane, and their amazing team of senseis and leadership students. My daughter's self confidence has absolutely blossomed. The support and encouragement of her amazing karate teachers has had such a positive impact on her self-esteem. She has become more assertive, more focused, and more disciplined. She loves the physical aspect, and athleticism, and learning new self-defense techniques. They

My son didnt wanted to do any sports at all. The first time he went we had to force him but the moment he saw how nice and patient everyone was there he would be going every day if he could. From the first day, our whole family felt welcomed and like we were there forever. All our questions were answered with patience and professionally. Our son loves the place and so do we. Thank you for your hard work!

My son has been a "Tiny Tiger" for the past year now, and has really enjoyed his experience. No doubt that the structure and exercise has helped him. While we have nothing but good things to say about his program, I think that the true reflection of this program is best observed through the young men and women who are part of the Leadership Program who serve as instructors for the younger students.

They are all responsible and dedicated to their jobs and do a fantastic job forging personal relationships with the children and encouraging them to do their best. This is a place with a very positive

My daughter has been going here for a little over a month. She also loves it. Everyone here is professional and dedicated to the children and adults. Her confidence and listening skills have improved a lot since starting. Everyday she asks can she go to karate class. Keep up the great work.
