“I am so impressed with Mr. Moore’s creed, I intend to adopt it myself. Through his classes, my children have ‘become’ that creed, and it’s embodied in their schoolwork, discipline and respect at home. The focus has helped them immeasurably in school...both are A students.”

- Gordon Haight

I can’t say enough about the program...it’s taught Zach to be respectful, helped him with leadership abilities and much more. As a family, we’ve all gotten a lot out of our relationship with Mr. Moore. He’s taught us to be more of a unit.”

“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. There is a different theme each month. This month it’s ‘Focus.’ The kids know that Mr. Moore practices what he preaches and they respect him for that. Because of this, they learn to respect one another. I would recommend it for anyone.”

- Terry Jones

“I saw this as an opportunity to teach them discipline and life skills. Plus, it’s a great way to do something together.
