Parent quotes about the instructor:
  • "How is he with kids? Great! Andreas is a calm influence, presenting clear guidance to the kids as they begin their paths learning the art of Karate." - Carie R.
  • "My 4 year old LOVES the Little Heroes class.  The class is the perfect mix of story telling (helping the kids learn to sit still and respectfully listen) as well as basic karate body movements.  The instructor does a great job tying the story into the movements so the kids can follow along with the theme.  He encourages the kids to try everything and not to be afraid to make a mistake.  The perfect approach for this age group...learning respect, controlled movement and a lot of FUN!  Thank you!" - Kim
  • "It is both hilarious, and a proud moment, to watch as your child follows along (or tries to!), having fun with their friends and building confidence that will last." - Wayland M.
