From Our Students

What a great family atmosphere. I've been able to train with my children, as well as, my grandchildren. Ray, 6th Degree Black Belt
Its heart warming to see someone else treat my child with respect and caring and patience. Ken, Father of Kevin, Red Belt Teen
Classes are so much fun here. It's very structured and traditional, yet really friendly. Jason, Green Belt Teen
Training here is a tremendous stress reliever. I come in the door so uptight from a day at work, and when I leave I feel relaxed and reenergized. Don, 4th Degree Black Belt
Master Batch seems to have never-ending patience. Leanne, Yellow Belt Adult
My son has difficulty academically in school, but here he thrives. His self-esteem has soared. Mother of Joel, White Belt Junior
Friendships with people of all ages develop from the common bond of training together and the respect for each other's efforts. Gene, 3rd Degree Black Belt
The atmosphere of the class is extremely positive and encouraging. John, Blue Belt Adult
What is learned here is so much more than just martial arts. The lessons apply to every area of people's lives. Mike, Red Belt Adult
All of the instructors in the classes are so helpful. Elizabeth, Blue Belt Junior
The training room has all the necessary equipment; bags, targets, mirrors, breaking boards - what a great place to train. Dan, Red Belt Adult
Master Batch and Mrs. Batch are very knowledgeable. They're able to explain difficult techniques and concepts in ways that make it simple for everyone to understand. Jamie, Yellow Belt Adult
I really appreciate the individual help I've received from both Master Terry Batch and Cheif Instructor Emily Batch. They each share their ideas in different ways that have helped me in my own training and also in how I can teach others more effectively. Susan,4th Degree Black Belt
I love the fact that the kids & adults train together. I can't think of any other forum where children have such an opportunity to develop friendships with adults. It's a very special environment. They learn so much from one another. Mutual respect is a natural outcome. Bruce, 5th Degree Black Belt
