"My daughter goes to the Western Karate Academy and I can't say enough positive things about the experience! The sensei is awesome, the times and locations are great. I totally recommend this opportunity to every mom who has a child who needs to learn how to positively focus their energy, gain some excellent self-confidence and develop valuable skills that will help them through many situations." Janice - Parent
