We haven’t ever been able to afford any type of sport for Tristan, and since he has Down syndrome, he’s really never been included in any group activities. He absolutely LOVES All Star Martial Arts! We’re seeing a change in his personality – he is much happier lately. He reminds us when it’s time to go to class! This afternoon he was watching a new video (a favorite activity) when I told him it was time for All Star. He jumped up, changed clothes, and ran to the car! He has NEVER willingly left a video for anything before!

I’m sad to say that I will not be renewing my membership. This time it really is me, not you
I’ve been transferred to Pittsburgh PA and things have happened so fast! In fact the packers show up tomorrow. I would like to give thanks to all of you there. The Ninja classes my son Ian took really helped to improve is balance, motor skills, and self confidence. And you are so good with the little ones! For me personally I had a great time in the teen/adult classes. Master Lieder, Jeremy, Kris are all great instructors (I knew we were in for it when ever Jeremy was teaching). And I have never seen anyone deal with all ages as well as Master Lieder – he is truly a master instructor. More importantly I really am impressed with what All Star Martial Arts does for the community. First off, you have made it a community not just another TKD school. There is a sense of community and accountability among the instructors and students which helps guide the moral compass. This is especially important for the teens and young adults. Your service there is great. Second, is the special needs program. That is truly a great great thing you are doing. I get choked up about it just thinking about it. Anyway, think you all very much. I hope I can find a place like All-Star Martial Arts in the Pittsburg area.
Cheers,
John F. Hopkins
