My son is 6 years old and takes karate here. He was 5 years old when he started. I've tried several other schools and didn't feel comfortable at any of them. I travel from Delray Beach and it's worth the piece of mind. Barry is very good with kids and has a lot of patience. He teaches discipline and respect. My son has really gained a lot of confidence since attending these classes.
