My husband and I first considered karate for our son Adam because of a recommendation make by Adam's pediatrician. The doctor recommended karate as a good activity for Adam to help maintain weight and provide good exercise. We had visited another martial arts school in the area but after attending a friend's birthday party at International Karate Centers, Adam was very interested in continuing with karate and the patient caring atmosphere was so much better at IKC so we enrolled him there. We have noticed that Adam has more self-discipline and respect for others. He enjoys earning tips on his belt and then advancing to the next belt. We knew very little about karate and have enjoyed watching Adam's progress. The program has turned out to be a great fit for Adam. Unlike seasonal sports, it keeps him active year round. Thanks to you and the staff at IKC for a great experience

My daughter Erin enjoyed your karate class at St. Joseph for two years. I was reading in the paper today about a girl's self defense class that you are offering at the AL library. It said that you are asking for a donation of a canned food item as the price of admission. May I please give you a big thank you for what you provide to our community. In this time of people asking for payment for every little thing, you go and give your time and wonderful, life saving information to children in our community for free. Thank you for what you do.

I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to enroll my daughter in your school. I have seen an increase in her physical strength and agility and she is showing improvement in her studies as well. The school has helped enforce the importance of commitment, showing concern for others & taking pride in accomplishments.
