We’ve noticed that Josh has been able to focus better on his school work and his homework. Mile High Karate is more than just about the karate. They focus on the kids’ positive attributes. There’s just not enough of that in the world anymore. As far as achievement in homework, they praise doing well on tests and they focus on a kids’ positive attributes.
In our case, Josh is a small boy and he’s got glasses. Actually, he doesn’t get picked on, because I think he’s got more self-confidence in himself than maybe a child who doesn’t take karate. Because that’s what they stress in classes is for them to be strong and self-confident, in control.
His confidence level has increased a lot. That’s one thing we’ve definitely noticed. We’re going on just a little over a year now, about a year and 2 months.
Mile High Karate kids are more focused and I think they behave better. For their parents, I think they obey. They have to reply to adults by saying, “Yes ma’am, yes sir.” And Josh’s teacher says that he’s doing that to her in class. Obviously, he doesn’t need to. But because he’s been trained by Mile High Karate to do that, that’s what he does.
The kids who’ve been in Mile High Karate, quite a few years especially, have a presence and self-confidence well beyond their years. We’ve already noticed that improvement in our sons, too. It’s an ability to believe in himself and have goals that far exceed his age.
We were concerned, at first, of whether or not we had the right karate school. But now, there’s no doubt in our minds that he’s in the correct school.
Like I said, the self-defense part went lower in our priority list for him when we saw how much they encourage them in school. It’s neat to see.
The higher they go, the more respect that’s there. Josh got lucky – enrolling at Mile High Karate was a great choice.
