We were refered to Sensei John Hernandez and Shehan Andy Horne by a trusted Instructor earlier this year after having a bad experience with another Dojo. My first impression was pretty solid. I was introduced to Sensei Hernandez who is a no-nonsence individual dedicated to a purpose, his purpose to pass on the Art in its original form. Promotions are based on merit and not popularity. Which is what I was seeking for my children (4 & 7). The more time I spent at the Dojo, watching the members work I could not resist the desire to get involved myself, for fitness and the mere beauty of the Artform I had had the pleasure of watching. It became almost impossible for me not to take advantage of the Kickboxing and Yoga Classes, and a few weeks ago I took a Karate Class for the first time with my daughters. This School is known to be the first of its kind in this part of Florida, the instruction is given in formal yet family friendly environment, parents are encouraged to participate with open arms, I have found not only Great Instruction for my children and myself - but a place where our family has been welcomed and made to feel comfortable as members of a truly great Dojo, something we respect and treasure - a rarity in these times.
Pros: Solid Instruction. Family enviroment.
