“My 5 year old daughter, KayLynn, has been attending Karate classes for about 2 months. She loves it and looks forward to classes every week. It’s challenging because she is in a class with older kids. It’s great to see the team work as the older kids assist her with her workouts and routines. It’s more than just exercise.
