We lucked out that Sgro Karate was the first studio we contacted about lessons for our 3 boys. The prices are more than fair, there are no contracts, and the owners are very big on transparency. That’s all we knew in the beginning.
Now that we’ve been there 6 months, it’s so much more. Master Sgro is a wonderful teacher and mentor. The kids respect him and work hard when they are there. Louise and Vince are so helpful and patient with the newer students, as is Melanie.
They also have seasonal parties that we as a family LOVE. The kids have a blast, the adults get to socialize and enjoy watching the kids being kids. They always leave exhausted and happy.
This is not a school where belts will just be handed out; these kids work for it, and he never asks them to do something he knows they aren’t ready for. That goes both ways - he WILL ask them to do things he knows they ARE ready for, even if the kids don’t believe in themselves that much, yet. It’s been a great experience for our family. It absolutely feels like an extended family. We’re so grateful...
