The other aspect of the program that is important to me as a parent is the constructive emphasis on building character..."After almost two years, my 11 year old daughter has continued to maintain her enthusiasm and commitment to PRO Martial Arts classes. It has been amazing to see how much my daughter has learned and how determined she is to get her black belt. I am impressed as to how the program is structured to really encourage the children to participate in a highly organized group while at the same time getting individualized attention on what they specifically need to work on. In my opinion the incentives for the children to learn (stripes on belts and the criteria for graduating to the different belt levels) are intelligently set up to be progressively more challenging, but not overwhelming."- Steve Lowen

My son has benefited tremendously in the PMA Leadership Program"When my son was 7 1/2 he wanted to learn karate. Since entering the VIP Leadership program my son has become more respectful. He regularly answers adults with "yes/no, ma'am" or "yes/no, sir". He has shown more self-discipline and more self-control. I get compliments from other adults about my son's behavior. He will now stay away from other kids who are not behaving at the risk of being ostracized. In addition to self-control and sociological benefits, attending karate classed three to four times per week has increased his muscular tone; he has better balance and is more physically fit."- Teresa Townsend
