After reading several articles on the many benefits of martial arts for children such as improving focus, socialization, and self control (including self discipline and respect), I signed my son up at Cutting Edge Kempo Karate last year and have seen him gradually improve academically & socially.  Sensei Nick is amazing with the kids, teaching them the techniques and making it fun-which is so important especially after a long day of school.  More than anything, I have been so impressed by how he goes above and beyond with the kids.  If a student has a problem (not related to his class), I’ve seen him sit with them, talk about the problem, etc. Also, classes are offered six days a week which gives us a lot of flexibility with our busy schedules.  In my opinion, it’s these qualities that raise Cutting Edge Kempo Karate above the rest.
