The York Academy of Martial Arts

Kids Karate classes, February 11, 2008

We have been members at the academy for a few weeks now and are very impressed with the level of professionalism and care that we have experienced. The instructors and helpers are well organized and very supportive of the kids (and us parents) as we get into the routine of training. We like the way that the classes are broken down by age and skill as our kids are both on the small/shy side. They feel comfortable in class and already have opened up a bit at home and school.
There are lots of helpers with a ratio of about one helper for every 3-5 kids. I am really surprised at how good some of the smaller kids can be. Classes can be watched via closed circuit t.v. in a lounge for the parents. It is a nice time for us to meet some new people or just read a book too!
The kids are begging us to try the upcoming camp, Avatar Week, for the March break. It sounds exciting!

Camps, February 11, 2008

The camps here are great! The kids take a martial arts class every day for 1-2 hours then do all sorts of crafts, games and activities. The movie that they make is amazing and the owners will even make you a copy if you provide a tape. The environment is very positive and organized as well the group is limited in size so there is no sense of your child getting left out.
I bring both my kids in wired up and they come home tired out and satisfied. We are all happy that way.
