Commitment and dedication.  We know there are a lot of other things our students do besides Karate, sports such as Baseball, Football, Soccer...  even video games!  That's why it always makes us respect the student who is driven enough to not only complete two straight years of Martial Arts with no leave of absences, but to do it with total  focus and determination...  Ryan is one of those.
     He has been with us since we opened two years ago, and is now in our advanced 9-12 year old class. He shows nothing but respect, focus and a "willingness" to learn all the while wearing a smile.
     Ryan, keep up the hard work.  With your dedication, a black belt is simply a matter of time.  Good Job!
