This school has been a blessing to our family. Our 2 oldest kids, now 7 and 5 have thrived under Sensei Weiss. While he obviously cares deeply for his students, he teaches with an age appropriate 'tough love.' He helps kids believe in their abilities through hard work and discipline. A breathe of fresh air in our participation trophy society. Classes are convenient and fairly priced.
