Academy of Traditional Karate

I was first introduced to Academy of Traditional Karate as a parent of a prospective then active karate student. My 2 kids have attended a number of martial arts birthday parties. My oldest daughter started and after a year I dipped my toe in. I am really glad I did.
I decided to try it with a parent promotional and have been very very satisfied ever since.
Personally, the benefits I have enjoyed include fitness, strength, stress relief, better attitude and improved concentration. The school is also a great extended family and is very supportive. In the past, I have been challenged to go to a gym by myself so the large choice of classes has made it very easy for me to work out on on a regular basis. The structure and instruction is first class so I am also learning a fantastic martial art and sport. You definitely earn your belts.
This karate school is family oriented and genuine. They walk the talk. The staff are the higly professional and go through a very good trainig program. They have family events and parents and children share in the challenges and actvities. The older children and teens are fantastic role models. This school actually helps develop attitudes of non-​violence, discipline and fitness in the youngest students. The school has a very effective anti-​bully and «dealing with strangers» program for kids.
I am an Eagle scout and Boy Scout leader and I recognize many of the same qualities in the older youth students that I have seen in Eagle scouts and great Scout leaders. I know that the Academy of Traditional Karate has had a big part in this development of character as well as physical fitness.
