"Coach V is an outstanding teacher. The other coaches at Kaizen Karate are also great. They teach more than just karate. They add important life lessons to their classes. At one class, I overheard Coach V tell the kids that before you become good at something, you're not so good at it, before that, you're bad at it and before that, you have to try it. Then the whole class tried a new kick. This is an important life lesson. Coach V and the other teachers are patient and calm. Their enthusiasm for martial arts and teaching really shines through. Classes always have a positive atmosphere and are orderly, not chaotic. My kids have improved their coordination, strength, self-esteem and self-defense skills as well as their karate. They take pride in their accomplishments. They enjoyed summer camp last year and will be returning again this summer. The Kaizen Karate adult karate class is fantastic; I love it. It's a great workout and has improved my confidence and self-defense skills. My whole family is a fan of Kaizen Karate."
