“Karate is my passion. I thank my parents all the time now for pushing me to go to classes as a kid. I honestly think that instilling karate in a person’s life builds a great deal of confidence, relieves stress, and is a great source of exercise and fun. It is the goal in our dojo to eliminate all negative attitudes and keep a positive and relaxed atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.”
