TESTIMONIALS

Sensei J was went above and beyond for our son. He came home with some concerning issues from school. Jen and Jared both went above and beyond to ask him about it and make sure his emotional well being is being looked out for. They’re a great duo

My son started training with Sensei Jared when he was 6 years old and now he's 14 and a brown belt...Sensei Jared is a great teacher... I recently observed one of my son's classes. We got there before the class before his was done. After they were done my son started to help pick up the mess made and straighten up. I asked my husband why he doesn't pick up stuff at home without us asking. My husband replied "At home he's a teenager but here he's a brown belt.

"Sensei Jared is a wonderful instructor for both children and adults. My son and I have been his students for a few years now. We both enjoy the classes and he has helped my son with discipline and focus. Senseij Jared is always trying to improve himself so he can improve his students, a sign of a true teacher. I highly recommend going for classes."
