I want to thank Jim for the opportunity of giving my children a chance to learn karate, to be apart of amazing people who have such passion for what they do and teaching the younger generation on how to respond to certain situations they may come across in life, and how to handle the situation in a more appropriate manner. I want to thank Jim, Dwane, Sean and the younger instructors who are very patient with the smaller kids! I would recommend pentjak karate to anyone who is trying to learn karate! 10/10
