I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so welcoming these last couple of weeks. Your encouraging postcards and emails truly motivated me to continue showing up.
Where I came from people are typically not very personable or genuine, and that’s something I’m still getting used to here in Juneau. I’m really glad I found this community and I am so grateful to be part of it.
I’ve started mapping out my personal goals to continue advancing in Karate. I can’t wait to learn more.

"Wanted to share something with you that happened last night….
After class, our son went down to use the mall's bathroom.
When he was coming out, he saw the janitor. He walked up to the gentleman and thanked him for cleaning the mall. The janitor replied, “thank you, no one ever said that to me.”
I was very proud of him for this action. When I asked him why he did that now, He stated look at the bathroom, it is a mess….
I wanted you to know that your “tasks” you tell the kids to perform maybe are forgot by many, but are heard by some. Not just saying the words, but rather the meaning and thought behind the words.
Thank you for help teaching our son how to be a good, and respectful person..
"I have just enrolled my son into the Karate class. He has an IEP and ADHD. He has had many problems in school because of this, but ever since we enrolled him in Karate he has shown an improvement both in his ability to pay attention in class, and his ability to control his emotional and physical self better. It has only been 3 weeks, so this is JAW dropping for me. Thank you to all of his teachers".
Our son Malcolm started last year and he is both really enjoying and has learned a lot! The teachers have the best approach to making it fun while teaching kiddos life skills like self control and following instructions. I’d highly recommended it.
I was talking with my son's teacher this morning and she said that he was saying "yes ma`am, please, thank you, and what else can I do to help" all day yesterday. She said the impact it had on the other students was incredible. Thank you JKA and the teachers for all you do
I appreciate both the amazing karate instruction & the academy's commitment to good manners, respect
and self-discipline in and out of the dojo. The teachers & senior students don't just teach, they model citizenship and character strengths rarely seen in other sports programs. Since starting their karate practices, my boys have improved their school performance, their sibling relationships and are developing a strong discipline in many other areas of responsibility.
