Instructor there is very good with kids! He will do anything to help make your child comfortable. This is not like an ordinary karate class. He teaches the kids how to defend themselves against bullies. Its kind of like a tae kwon do with a christain twist. He also talks about the bible etc. Very nice guy. And easy to get along with. The one great thing is.. NO CONTRACTS to sign, and his prices are great!! My son loved it there!!
