William went to class yesterday and LOVED IT!!! Your instructors did such a great job showing him what to do. This is already a much better fit for William than hockey was. Thanks so much!!!! Taresa

Great class, Matt. Not that you need the applause, but I do like your teaching style. Actually I love how he thinks about things in class; you can almost see the gears working in his head. This class is definitely the right fit for him.

I know it has been a while since you heard from me. But I wanted to let you know that even after what, almost a year of training, Lexi is still benefitting from her education at PHOENIX KRAV MAGA AND FITNESS. Yesterday I received a call from her teacher telling me that for a few days now, a small group of boys have been chasing Lexi on the playground at recess and grabbing a hold of her not letting go. She has told them to stop, but they don’t listen, and she wants to go play with her other friends, but they haven’t let her and kept chasing her. I had no idea this was happening. I asked her about it and she confirmed everything…saying that she gets so tired at recess from running all the time. It of course broke my heart. I asked her why she doesn’t tell them to stop in a loud, forceful way. It turns out, she is intimidated by them because they are her age, and “some of them are even 8 already!” But then I asked her what she learned from you. She kept saying “I don’t know..I don’t remember” I refreshed her memory on what to do about bullies, and her face lit up! “Oh yeah!” She exclaimed. So we went through the whole thing, practiced it, talked about how to get away from the boys holding her, wrist escape, etc. She practiced telling them in no uncertain terms to leave her alone. I could literally see the confidence coming back into her. She was so happy to remember that she has the power to defend herself! We practiced again this morning before school, and I think we both felt better. I have talked to the other mom’s, so I don’t think the chasing will be happening anymore, but I am so glad that she ultimately knows what she can do to help herself. I thank you for teaching those skills to her. Congrats to you…I saw in the Bloomingdale Park District book that you have a class now there. Thats great! Thanks again for the great lessons that have been taught to Lexi.

Thanks for extra care with Sam today. He was off sick last week and on Monday when he returned to class, there was a little accident that scared him. He was rather hesitant to come to class today so your help was greatly appreciated.”

I am really happy with how things are going with Madelyn in your class. She is so proud of herself and can’t wait until her next class. I am very satisfied and so happy that we found your program! If there’s anything I can be doing at home to help her, please let me know

I appreciate your report on Logan. I’m happy he attends PHOENIX KRAV MAGA AND FITNESS. You have been the most patient instructors ever. My head pounds just sitting there. But you guys interact with each child individually, you guys teach them from right and wrong, plus you guys know all their names. I think that’s really cool. Ya know what you’re doing and I respect that to the fullest. Logan has changed, he’s more mature. Thank you, for the results!
