“My daughter has been transformed through ASB Karate. She
has become more confident, physically adept, and
respectful. She knows that true achievement comes through
sustained hard work towards clear goals. She has “learned
how to learn” in the truest sense, which benefits her not
only in karate, but all aspects of her life. Plus, she
loves it!” Lisa Duncan (parent)
“Although the focus is on hard work and self-discipline,
my kids have a great time at ASB, get a good workout four
times a week, and come out of class feeling better than
when they went in” Caryl Dore (parent)
“ASB
Karate has become an integral part of the hardest and
most important lesson I could hope to teach my children
who have come out of a Communist Bloc country. And that
is to achieve a successful result in any worthwhile
endeavor, you must work hard and stay focused on the goal
at hand. The harder you work, the greater the success. We
also have a tremendous camaraderie with fellow students
and some truly genuine friendships.” Ray
Weeks
Mastering
the martial arts also provides rigorous physical training
and serious fitness in a fun, friendly atmosphere. Entire
families will often
train together.
“I
got started by watching my kids take their first belt
test. I was so proud to see what they had accomplished
and the confidence they had gained. There are so many
beneficial aspects to karate. Physically, I lost twenty
pounds. Mentally, it enables you to better cope with
different situations. Spiritually, you learn that it is
not kicks and punches but looking within yourself to
begin a journey. And, age doesn’t hamper you - this is
something you can do for a lifetime” John
