Kiai Martial Arts
“We're super happy our child attends Kiai. It was recommended by another mother, and we are very thankful for that!
My child has really grown in many ways, from running around (and having difficulty listening) and being very uncoordinated, to now able to do their katas and follow directions much more. The classes have helped my child with more self-confidence, as they're on the smaller side (due to an autoimmune condition) and has been a huge target for school bullying and was physically assaulted a while ago. My child is now much, much more assertive in school, and has learned positive and direct ways to handle unwanted behavior directed towards them.
Tasshi also allows the students to practice their own skills either alone, in pairs, or small groups, which allows students to help each other, or to learn how to focus and be redirected appropriately. It's controlled chaos with the kids, but they are learning, and retaining the moves.
The schedules rotate through (kata, manual, sparring, etc) so if you can't make it one week, you can still practice the following week. We love this, as my child is involved in extracurricular academics and they are still able to enjoy karate each week.”
