"Our 10 year old son has been attending Mr. Jim Harris' American Martial Arts dojo for about a year. Before karate he had tried several sports and quickly lost interest in each of them. Karate was a different story. Our son is excited to go to class each day without fail. Mr. Harris is the reason behind this excitement; he is wonderful with kids of all ages. Mr. Harris has a true talent in teaching children. He has the ability to keep them challenged while allowing them to excel at their own pace unlike many teachers who push classes as a group without recognizing children's strengths and weaknesses. There is no way to verbalize the special skill he has to influence the children in a positive way. Mentally our son has grown more self confident while remaining respectful and courteous. Physically he has grown stronger and more coordinated. Mr. Harris also has many social events for the parents and children which allow for social development and wonderful friendships for the children." - Sincerely, Todd & Cathy Carney
