TESTIMONIALS - COUNT ME IN*

• "The Count Me In program offered by Ken Carr's Martial Arts has been a wonderful experience for Robin. Other than his first love, basketball, I coudn't get Robin excited about any other sports. He started but quickly became uninterested in baseball. Soccer was the same. I thought martial arts would help him with his balance and coordination, but worried that he would not stick with the progam.
  
  Interestingly, Robin clicked with the program and has maintained a high level of interest. He is focused and shown a lot more patience than what I've seen in the past. I can see that his balance has improved a lot in just a month. I know the benefits beyond what I can see visibly. I think the program help tremendously with discipline and self-confidence.
  
  I can't say enough about Sensei Mike, Sensei Vicki and Sensei Larry. They have been great teachers and strong motivators. I appreciate their can-do approach. Even when Robin says he can't do it, they push him a little more and more, which is GREAT! I have been pleasantly suprised on many occasions by what Robin was able to do.
  
  So let me express my heartfelt 'Thank You' for so many things you have done for Robin."   --Kathy Kim
  



• "I just wanted to say that the Count Me In program has been a blessing. It gives Austin a chance to participate in a sport. Austin has congenital heart disease and most sports require some running during warm up. This program has an instructor, Sensei Vicki, who has worked in a SDC (Special Day Class) setting before and understands the challenges these children may have during training. Karate is a 'pretty cool' sport, so for Austin, it makes him feel good that he is in a Karate program."  --Katy Lee
