We encourage our students by using enormous amounts of positive reinforcement in such a way that it builds confidence and self-esteem. We correct our students in love, pointing out both the positive and negative. We get a clear understanding of their goals and assist them in enjoying the journey to achieving those goals.

We make certain that our students get diversity in their instruction and instructors. Since each instructor has his/her own style the students benefit by virtue of being able to learn something new and different from each instructor. This being an academy dedicated to “Black Belt Excellence” our higher ranked students are very clear in their understanding that one of their roles is to lead and inspire others. There are also several special academy events both in and outside the academy that keep us all connected.

Our students are continuously being evaluated, often times without them knowing. We always take into consideration their ability and capacity to learn to execute each movement and technique. In addition to this, each month we have a specific character development focus as well as a weekly focus that reinforces our message for the month. This allows our students to develop a high sense of respect, discipline, responsibility and self-worth from an early age.
