HAPPY CHILDREN & PARENTS

What do they say about us?



My 8 year old son has been attending Sensei Nick’s Karate program since he was 4 years old. He started while he was a student at Goddard. I can’t say enough how much I love this program. Sensei Nick is fun and approachable while still being a thorough instructor. He pays attention to what is happening in class and knows when to push students harder and when to let them digest new information.

Pendo Karate has been more than I could have asked for in a martial arts program for my son. The balance of teaching self-discipline and character along with enthusiasm and encouragement for the students, develops the body, mind, and spirit. Pendo’s focus on the development of each individual child has helped build confidence, discipline and perseverance in my sons.

Finn is a very different little boy today than he was when he started at Pendo, thanks to your patient persistence in working with him for the past three years. Today, Finn is able to restrain himself, be still, listen, demonstrate appropriate respect for Senseis and teachers alike, control/direct his large muscle movement, and – oh, yeah – do some actual karate. Thank you, Pendo!

We have nothing but positive things to say about Pendo Karate. Our son has the best time there and is learning so much! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We love Pendo Karate!
