My son and I have been students here for 2 years. Sifu Alan Myrtle is great with the kids and adults. You can tell he has been teaching kids for a long time. He is calm and encouraging with them. He also requires they respect him and each other. They love his games!He encourages the kids to compete in Forms/kata and sparring/kumite. The school does well at competitions. For the adults he is a wealth of knowledge on Kenpo and several other styles. Starting you slow and continually letting you in on some more info that helps you get better. Teaching is always sprinkled with a bit of humor.Some of his own black belts help teach classes.

My daughter loves coming here. She has learned so much and really enjoys her classes. I am very thankful for Mr. Myrtle and all he does to build her confidence, discipline in practicing, and also following through. Best activity we have done by far and this teaches life skills and leadership.

Mr. Myrtle is an excellent and patient teacher. He is an 8th degree black belt but doesn’t show off. He has taught my son (little tigers class) for a year so far. My husband and daughter also enjoy the beginner adult class. Occasionally, some advance class students come and help in the beginner classes - which is great to learn from others just a bit more above your belt level. There are beginner classes M,W & F. Advanced classes T, Th & F.
