Thank you so much for a very professional and enjoyable event. The sense of accomplishment that Julia felt afterwards was palpable. She continued to do the routine throughout the day. Thank you so much for giving her this opportunity.
Take care and thanks again to you and Laura.

”I would just like to write you guys and share some perspectives of your Martial Arts program. Not coming from a Martial Arts background I enter into this equation with very little insight and at the same time very little baggage. Our family comes in with a clean slate and is excited to learn and embrace this whole new element in fitness and philosophy. I was looking for an institution which challenged my son both physically and mentally and I definitely wanted to reinforce the type of character building which we are instilling with him at home. As you know as parents yourself there are many messages being sent to our children in our society which undermine the ethical principles and discipline we want for our children. I was also looking for a sensei who would embody those characteristics. I can say that after just one term all of my expectations have been met and more. I want to thank you for your dedication to your passion and your work in making your vision of Jiketsu a reality. I think after Sunday’s tournament it confirmed how valuable Jiketsu is to the community and how much I really want my family to be part of it.”

“Three words that describe me are determined, modest and strategic. I developed most of my characteristics through martial arts. Martial arts gave me the mental strength to be determined. It also taught me to be strategic in my thinking, which helps me plan the steps required to reach my objective and to be modest and humble when winning. All of these characteristics have helped me with my schoolwork and life in general.
My name is Dre’ Wilkinson and I am a senior student at the Berkeley Institute. After I graduate from high school I hope to further my studies and develop my knowledge in the field of psychology.
It fascinates me how everything we do pertains to psychology. I know about the strengths of the mind due to the fact that I practice martial arts. The mind is what helps us to overcome our weaknesses. As I began to understand the various mysteries of martial arts and life I began to develop more of a thirst of knowledge for psychology.
In the field of psychology I hope to make a difference in society’s behavior and the mind state of individuals. A quote I live by is, “can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can” by Sun Tzu. To me it means that for every opportunity I get, I must put my all and give everything I have into it to be successful. I have what it takes to make a difference in my community and hopefully the world in the field of psychology. “

”I just want to let you know that i am really enjoying the self-defense class. It is making me more aware of my surroundings and making me more alert!!!!! OF COURSE IT'S FUN!!!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Thanks!! I don't want it to end!!! Count me in on your new adventure!!”

”Trey is very free spirited and easily lead at this point in life so we are creating a foundation that he can build on that will help him through his journey of life. As parents we can't be with him every minute of the day but do our best to equip him to handle situations when he is away from us.
We feel the Tiny Tots class is part of that grounding/foundation along with spiritual guidance so we really appreciate the class and your loving attitude towards Trey.
Happy Fathers Day!

“Khari really enjoys the tiny tots’ class. I noticed that after the first class he was doing the Tiger crawl at home, which really showed that he was focused and paying attention. It’s a good form of exercise and discipline and I enjoy being able to join the class with him.”

”If there ever was a product or practice that needed to be sold upon it would have to be the inspiring discipline of the Jiketsu Martial Productions Foundation. This comes from a mother who wholeheartedly and sincerely believed her child was a victim of the title Attention Deficit Disorder or better known as ADD. After attending a school seminar and identifying with the named symptoms obviously recognizing them in my child I was relieved when they named karate as one of the three best sports for children with this disorder or condition. I decided to take their advice and I am elated to say, after three terms of karate not only has my son become more disciplined and focused but also displays a great deal more confidence than I have ever seen before. This leaps to another level for me because last year in school my son was below average in most subjects and failing in others. This year not only has he improved, he has all A+ or B+ averages except for one subject and even in this subject he is slightly above average and rapidly improving daily. I truly believe it has been the leadership and positive spirit of a truly gifted sensei.”
Thank you Jiketsu Martial Productions for believing in our son.
