My 8 yr old takes classes with Adam son's at the Monon Center. I will be honest I was worried the first 6 weeks. But, instructor has learned how to really connect with the kids and the experience has really been phenomenal for my son. Every week he gains confidence and has a better understanding of "honor" because he sees it in action. I have a lot of respect for Sense John because he has adapted to the younger kids so they get the most out of class and LOVE karate. There are a variety of extracurricular activities that have been fun and help build community among the kids. My son has benefitted greatly from his experience with AKS.
