American Martial Arts Academy
Success Story

Dear Shihan Wenneberg, Sensei Wenneberg, & Sensei Joshi:

When Aiden first started attending karate classes about a year ago, he was 3 years old - and more interested in jumping on bags and running around the karate studio than he was in listening attentively in class. However, I have witnessed tremendous growth in his focus, attention, discipline, and respect over the past year. He still has his "days," as any 4-year old does, but overall he seems to have developed a kind of confidence that comes only from personal achievement. When he earned his purple belt a couple weeks ago, I thought of the incredible different between that promotion ceremony and his first one, when he was reluctant even to leave my side for a moment. This is true in his classes as well; he is no longer afraid to join his classmates on the floor, and once he becomes focused on what he is doing, he is a joy to watch.

Seeing his progress encouraged me to join the AMAA Adult programs myself. I started off only with fitness kickboxing at AMAA, and while I still enjoy those classes, I have found a new challenge in taking karate. I can tell, too, that Aiden is excited about the prospect of us working toward a black belt together (even if he is quick to remind me that he currently has a higher ranking belt than I do!). I am eager to learn - and eager to work alongside my son as we achieve our goals. In fact, I am thrilled to be a part of AMAA.

With gratitude,

Karen
