From
Parents:
"My
son Andrew has in the few 2 sessions improved in his outlook and confidence."
Angela
DeBroux
"The greatest changes I have noticed are his self confidence
and self-discipline. Now I see a child who is ready and anxious to take on the
world."
Robin Ordorff
"Tony had just turned six when
he started karate at his school. He was very shy and had a difficult time following
even the simplest of instructions… He has been going now for nine months and his
father and I have seen a remarkable difference. He is more outgoing not only in
play but also in his academic performance. He raises his hand now to answer questions
or to volunteer information. His physical abilities and mentality about doing
"exercise" has also changed. Before karate we usually had a hard time getting
him outside to do anything… His level of confidence has risen extremely and he
now enjoys trying and doing new things… Karate has helped him to focus on what
needs to be done… But more than that it has given him the confidence to open up,
take chances and enjoy all the things he saw his friends do, but was too afraid
to try."
Maria David
"Jacqui and Michael have never
been shy or reserved children. They are high energy, very active kids. Participating
in the Martial Arts program is helping them to become better listeners. It is
continually increasing their respect for others and their abilities as well… they
are in control of how far they want to go based on their positive participation,
focus, listening and practice."
Kristy Benner From
Principals: "We
would gladly recommend this program to any school as an extra curricular activity
as it builds self-confidence, self-discipline, and promotes well being through
exercise."
Judith Bevington (Principal, Hearst Elementary) "Through
the program, students were encouraged to accept responsibility for themselves
and their actions. We definitely will offer it again and encourage students to
participate."
Adele Lancaster (Principal, Marvin Elementary)
"Our students have, through their program,
developed strength, coordination and agility. Their discipline and self-confidence
has improved and it is with great confidence that I recommend their program to
other schools and educators. I would be happy to be further contacted regarding
this program."
Judy Tenorio (Principal, Curie Elementary) "The
most impressive impact the program has had on our students is the evidence of
self-discipline, the building of a confident self-esteem and teaching students
the ability to set goals and accomplish them. I wish Eric continued success and
I'm in full support of his expanding his program to benefit more students. If
I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at (619) 588-3044."
Kathleen
Roloff (Principal, Anza Elementary)
"Eric
has taught Martial Arts at Cubberley Elementary for several years. Because he
is such a super instructor and the students and parents appreciate his teaching
style, he always has large classes. Yet he maintains structure, discipline with
high standards, and a sense of purpose. His students have a clear sense of what
excellence means with the moves they are to perfect and at the same time, a positive
feeling about themselves if they aren't quite there yet. We sincerely appreciate
his promptness, his enthusiasm and flexibility. He works extremely well with his
students and they thoroughly enjoy their Martial Arts time on Fridays. Please
call me if you have any further questions or points of clarification."
Claudia
Records (Principal, Cubberley Elementary)
"The active participation
which this program requires during each lesson encourages the students to challenge
themselves both mentally and physically. The main achievement that the Martial
Arts program strives for in each individual is to build confidence in all areas
of life, including the academic realm which directly reflects in schoolwork. It
is a positive way to build self respect and learn how to deal with adversity.
Foster Elementary School would like to invite any interested party to visit the
classes and discern how this program would benefit the students at its location."
Richard Flores (Principal, Foster Elementary)
