"My
son, Cameron, started karate looking for fitness and
friends. He stayed because of the focus on the whole
person - the physical training, social leadership,
and my favorite as a school teacher, the expectation
of academic effort from every student. The entire
school seems to be a family from the first day in
class. Thanks for a quality program."
Mike White"My daughter has been a
student in Wado Karate Centers for over a year.
The instructors are great at showing individual
attention during class. In fact, I was so
impressed that I joined as well. It has been a
positive experience and we look forward to
continuing for a very long time."

"Thank you for your leadership, encouragement and
the fabulous instructors who have trained our son at
Wado Karate Centers. Matthew has grown to love
karate. He receives so much that will help him
in life, and he will never forget the friends he has
made in karate. Thank you again for all you are
doing to make Matthew’s karate experience enjoyable,
challenging and rewarding. May the Lord richly bless
you always." Melody Morris
"I have noticed that my 11 year old son carries
himself with more confidence and seems to walk a
little taller. He has only been in the martial arts
for 6 months but I am already seeing a change in his
personality." Barry Steelman
"I enrolled both of my girls in Wado Karate Centers
to learn self-defense. I didn't realize at the time
all the other very important things my girls would
also learn - such as confidence, courage,
discipline, perseverance, strength, and the strong
friendship bonds they would form along the way. Not
only are they learning how to defend themselves but
they are being molded into outstanding human beings
and citizens. My only regret is not enrolling them
sooner." Debbie Thornhill
"Our son was a VERY shy boy
before he started karate. He would cry when people
talked to him and he had few friends. He was
constantly hiding behind me when other people were
around. He had anxiety attacks before we dropped
him off at preschool so we worried about how he
would handle kindergarten. We started his karate
classes in June. The first few classes were
emotionally hard for him, but the instructors were
very patient and understanding. By August he was
riding the bus to school and had friends over every
day. His confidence, his patience when doing tasks,
and his ability to do things on his own have
all increased dramatically. Thank you for everything
you've done for him." Angela
Brown
"Karate has ensured that my son has not been
relegated to the couch in this video game world. He
learns self-control, discipline, and gets exercise
at the same time. He recognizes what bullies are and
how to respond to them."
