 " Renshi J. Sessum has been an excellent karate instructor for our now 5-year-old twins. He has taught them for over a year and he is extremely patient, yet firm. He has the perfect balance between pushing them to do their best while recognizing their abilities. He also encourages a real 'team' atmosphere, with the older, more experienced children helping the younger. His instruction has had a very positive affect on our children's behavior, in terms of independence, confidence, and following instructions. I highly recommend his class.      Allison Richards "
