My wife and I had been talking about getting our son into something that would be good for his self confidence and help teach him discipline. Our son was very shy and would avoid contact with new people, especially adults. After visiting Mike Storms' Dojo, and others, we made the decision to sign up the whole family. It was the single most important decision we have made for our family, and it was the best decision we have made for, not just our son, but entire family! We are in our 7th month. Our son has blossomed into a fine confident young man. He looks people in the eye when he addresses them. He works hard even when he is bored, or things are hard,because he wants to achieve success. He has learned leadership skills. He has become a model child. He listens to our direction and knows it is important to listen to mom and dad. We have received compliments from school on how he is a Model student. He is helpful, listens to instruction, and is achieving academically at the highest level. At Mike Storms' Dojo, children are not only taught Martial Arts, but the life skills that every child needs to be healthy and safe. They are taught when to recognize the difference ""Good Touch"" and ""Bad Touch"" so they can identify a child predator, and what to do about it. They are taught healthy eating habits, and how to properly interact with people, and most importantly how to be responsible. My son is turning out to be incredibly well adjusted. The family atmosphere and caring and professional instruction staff make for a place that we look forward to going to every week. It has been a great tool to enhance our family unit. We have grown closer as a family, and have enjoyed doing Karate together. We have committed to the Blackbelt Leadership Program. It is the best investment we have ever made for our family! I would encourage anyone, that is looking to learn self discipline, self defense and to gain confidence and life balance, to check out Mike Storms. It has changed my families lives for the better!
