“I was searching for a martial-arts style class to build confidence in my son, who is one of the shortest in his middle school grade, and a good kid of quiet temperament. We have been going to Wall 2 Wall about 2 months, but I am delighted with both the teaching and the outcome.My son reported that during 6th period last week a taller boy, who he says is a friend, tried to play "keep away" with him. My son said with a giggle that he responded by 'Sumo'ing' him. Now I asked many questions of what 'Sumo'ing' meant in '12 year old', and my understanding is.. he'd used a Judo skill he'd learned in Sensei Chucks class to unbalance the kid, twist him around, and lift him off his feet, braced on his shoulder (the way you would do when you are preparing to throw someone). It was a friendly interaction so he didn't follow through throwing the kid, but he WAS able to reach over while the taller kid was shocked / off his feet, and grab his paper back. He said the best part was science teacher teasing his tall friend that he got outsmarted by "a little boy". And while it was a friendly interaction between friends.. I am delighted to know that my son proved he was not an easy target just because of his height. As a parent I am very happy with his boost of confidence. He was able to handle himself. We highly recommend Wall 2 Wall. Thank you!”
