These days it is important to teach kids to be aware without scaring them of strangers. This program has helped my little girl feel strong, and unafraid, though she knows how to avoid potential fights or ""problem people."" The teachers are educated and kind, yet clear, about showing kids the value of rules, coping strategies, and respecting the rights of others as well as themselves. \r

I love the consistency and individual differences between senseis and locations. It is a great help in bolstering my daughter's self confidence. She also gets regular postive reinforcement for being kind to us at home, well worth the cost!
Pros: My daughter knows how to defend herself
