Excellent school, Master with a capital letter, gets along well with children, strict but fair, always jokes and finds a common language with them. They instill discipline, self-improvement, independence, the desire to be better. My son really likes it, I definitely recommend it

Great Instructors, very patient to make sure you have the techniques in hand before they move on. And then they make you revisit the early techniques taught. Can't ask for anything more. I Love it.
