"Parents are overjoyed by the drive their children had during the time you were at our school."

I can’t tell you how excited I am about the results your program has given to the students of Jordan Ridge. I am extremely impressed with the politeness and respect we are seeing in our students. Parents are overjoyed by the drive their children had during the time you were at our school. Many have commented on their child’s focusing ability and good self-esteem. They are also happy about “the 7 magic words of respect”.

I am looking forward to working with you again in the future. Your staff was very professional and knowledgeable. I only wish the program could be carried out for a longer period of time rather than be crushed into a few short weeks.

Thank you for providing such a great program.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!"

You and your staff were an absolute pleasure to work with!
Several parents have mentioned to me how much they and their children have benefited from your program. In fact a couple of my faculty members have been seeing improvements in the attitude and respectful behavior of the students you have been interacting with.

I really love the character lessons in your system.
Great work, I am excited to work with you again next year!

and the community."

We LOVED having you and your group at our school! I think the program is GREAT for the kids, and the community. Your delivery and communication to the students and faculty is very personal and professional. We both wish you all the best, and hope the program grows! I truly believe it was great for the kids, and will help them as they grow and mature.

Please feel free to use my name and we would LOVE to have you back again next year!

Good Luck!

"Everyone was involved to practice. Good examples were used when explaining a skill."

First of all a big THANK YOU for coming and speaking to our kids. What a great job you did!!  These are some things that we observed:

There was good eye contact with students with walking around checking for proper skills. Everyone was involved to practice. Good examples were used when explaining a skill. (Kids could relate).

Good time management- students were not bored. Great positive approach! Super teaching of character building (makes students feel good about themselves)…… Overall GREAT JOB!

Always glad to have you come. What a wonderful role model!

"I would recommend any child care, elementary school, and any other child related facility to attend this program!"

This letter is in reference to Personal Mastery Martial Arts Respect program. Our facility incorporated this program into our summer camp program for grade school children. This program was very helpful not only for the students but for our Teachers also. The children learned to respect them and others, after about the 2nd week they went to class they were listening better, the children were also following directions better. We did have some of the parents comment on how different their children were acting at home, they would clean their room with out being asked, they would say “Please” and “Thank You” 

I would recommend any child care, elementary school, and any other child related facility to attend this program! The children enjoyed it thoroughly! That is all they could talk about, how fun it was and how “cool” the instructor was. If you have the chance to attend this program do it! It is AWSOME!!!!

"In regards to our Tae Kwon Do classes, I think these
are fantastic."

I just wanted to send an email to say thank you. (Mrs) Master Lechtenberg - After the women’s self-defense class last night I was thinking about the safety of my self and my children, and I honestly believe that what you teach us in these classes could really help prevent terrible things happening to women. You are teaching us methods of not just fighting back, but methods of awareness to prevent an attack. You mentioned 'things' last night that I just didn’t think of when it came to the safety of myself and my children (both physical and emotional). I feel very empowered after these courses, so I thank you for that. You teach us in a very non-confrontational manner which reduces the fear and anxiety often associated with self-defense classes.

In regards to our Tae Kwon Do classes, I think these are fantastic. We only started doing these classes last December, and I have noticed Charlie and Grace growing more and more confident, and in control of themselves and their actions. Charlie and Grace have developed a real passion for Tae Kwon Do, and they like to proudly show friends what they have learnt. Sabonim’s classes are my favorite as you pick up our mistakes immediately so we are not practicing incorrectly.

You also break things down so that us ‘slower’ students (referring to myself here!) can get it right. I also like how you push us to give our best, and a little bit more, and you don’t overlook the younger students. I really feel that what we are learning in the classes carries over into our daily lives. I enjoy the fitness aspect, but I really like the focus and concentration that are necessary to succeed. When I am really stressed and frustrated, I go and practice for a while and it brings me back into reality, feeling more positive and energized – which is exactly how I feel when I leave class each day.

I apologize for the long-winded email, but I just wanted to express my appreciation to you both for the positive attributes you have brought into our lives.

Thanks again,
Kim McGowan-Jackson
