What do Educators Say?
We asked the Schools Staffs and Parents about our efforts to provide Life Skills necessary
for children to be... The Best They Can Be.
They love us and what we do!
This is what they say!:

 I am so happy to write this testimony about The DOJO.
Mr. League and Mr. Koostra came to my school and offered the Zero Rule to the entire 5th grade, which consisted of 211 students at no expense to the school or students. In recognition for completing this program, the students were given a white belt and were allowed to break a board with their foot. The students were very excited about this opportunity. I saw immediate change in our students’ behavior. I was so impressed with how well Mr. League and Mr. Koostra related to the students. These visits went so well we are planning to have them back in the near future.
Thank you Mr. League and Mr. Koostra for your time and your effort.

 My son, Connor, is 10 years old and has been going to class at The Dojo since November of 2008. I have seen an immensely positive impact on my son from his experience at The Dojo.
Connor has struggled with acceptance, self-image and low self-esteem. During Connor’s time at the Dojo, I’ve seen a marked increase in these areas and he seems to feel much more comfortable with who he is. I attribute these changes to his instructor, Mr. Koostra.
Mr. Koostra has shown Connor that he CAN do anything he puts his mind to, and that he is capable of anything he attempts. Because Mr. Koostra believed in Connor, Connor now believes in Connor; and I so appreciate that! It’s something that I could not do for my son. The Dojo experience has also shown Connor what it means set personal goals and to meet them through self discipline. The Dojo instructors are absolutely amazing. As a teacher in the Forsyth County School System, I am absolutely sold on The Dojo, and I feel very strongly that it’s something all children should have the opportunity to experience.
In fact, I am so sold, I am going to enrolling my 5 year old Autistic son. I’m looking forward to many more years of The Dojo for both of my sons!

 My son, Matt, has been involved in The Dojo for only a few months now. I chose karate as a way of building self-esteem and confidence. The personal attention and encouragement he has received from Mr. Koostra has really impacted him. I see self-esteem building up in my son as well as much more focus and a desire to grow.
The staff has gone over and above to see that all of our needs are met. Their program comes highly recommended.

 The Dojo is an excellent program for students, teaching discipline, respect and self-control. Tim’s enthusiasm is matched only by his commitment to his students’ success. The outcome is students who have increased confidence and self-discipline.

 I’ve seen the development of the whole person….mind, body and spirit. I’ve seen the pride in achieving something that was out of reach. I’ve seen growth in strength and endurance. I’ve seen the respect grow with “Yes, Sir’s” and One Rule forms.
That’s what I think, my son just thinks it’s COOL!

 Just a note to say “Thank You Dojo”! The gift that you’ve provided our children is priceless.
Brooke, Kristen and Aaron have grown tremendously since they started with The Dojo. We have seen remarkable improvement in their focus, self-discipline, self-control, and overall confidence. The instructors, Mr Koostra and Mr League, have a special gift in bringing out the very best in each child.
We are proud to be a “Dojo Family”!

We enrolled both of our elementary school boys at The Dojo about a month ago. Since that short amount of time we have seen significant positive behavior changes in them. They fight with each other less often, are more focused, and have more respectful for us, their parents. We are extremely grateful to The Dojo and what they have done for our children.

 The Dojo Program has motivated both of our kids to make better choices both at school and at home. We were surprised to find that our daughter has remained as interested as our very active little boy. Dojo provides the structure and fun that children thrive on!

 Evan sums up The Dojo in one word…AWESOME!
He enjoys it very much. The Zero Rule and the One Rule have made him into a more mature person by giving him more responsibility. He is also more focused and it helps at home and at school. He wants to continue his journey in karate at The Dojo and is confident he can go far!
All of you do a fantastic job. Thank you.

 Our son has been involved with The Dojo here in Cumming for over a year now, and we’re so pleased at the progress he’s made, both mentally and physically. He’s gained more self-control through the disciplines of his karate classes and we’ve seen positive results at home and at school!
We can’t say enough about the skill and kindness of the instructors here at our studio. Thanks to their great teaching methods and constant encouragement, Zac has made great strides
