My experience in Karate America at Monarch Lakes has been spectacular. Our family joined Karate America in 2020 when we enrolled our youngest child. From day one the staff has been very friendly and professional. We decided to include our older child, and Karate America gave us a bundle for the family, so I joined. I could have never thought in a million years that today I would be three months away from becoming a black belt. Karate America has helped me to believe in myself and to reinforce positive thinking in my life and my family. My children has grown in their confidence and martial arts skills as they are developing mental toughness and persevering. We are thrilled to have our kids enrolled there because they are learning core values and life skills that are so essential for life like respect, motivation, honesty, serving, and most of all self-defense. My health has also been improved ever since. I have lost over 45 pounds and I have felt so energized in my daily life. The to motivational strategies that I learned in Karate America have helped me in my own career and family as I have developed to be more enthusiastic towards others in the workplace, the community, and more than anything else my own children. For instance resilience is a motivational block that I feel the Warrior family has helped me to put in place in my life throughout this journey. Back in 2021 I got COVID, and right after got better, because Karate America found the way to continue their classes, I was able to come back stronger along with my attitude towards challenge. Today , my wife, our kids, and myself are proud to be part of the Warrior family of Karate America. The Karate America experience is one worth it to invest for no matter what skill level you may feel you are in martial arts. On day one I thought I could not handle one full class, today I not only do one class, but two in a row, and sometimes three. And that's because Karate America at Monarch Lakes has taught me to never give up even in my 40 plus years. Thank you Karate America for your continuous devotion in helping the community, and thank you for making us feel as family and for helping me to put in action your motto: every day and in every way, I get...
Read moreComing here has been life enhancing. Many friends recommended this place as they were already seeing improvements in their own households. So we decided to try it too. Getting my youngest(7) a good structure and tired was the initial goal, little did i know that the whole family was joining (it makes sense from a pricing perspective), and that ultimately we would all enjoy the benefits of the workout, and the life lessons that are part of every one of the training sessions, and the physical and mental challenges. This has allowed for my family to grow together, to be more united, to have more respect inside, and outside of the house. it has provided me with a bit more calm to be able to breathe through some of my triggers with the kids, and be a better parent. It has allowed for them to understand the communication dynamic better, providing quick corrective actions by reminding them what was discussed in one of the classes. It has given us countless moments of family time as we all gather and practice the combinations, the stances, and most of all, the weapons. Karate America has been a great catalyst to continue to improve our lives with exercises for the body, and the mind. The class structure allows for the whole family to practice together, while at the same time providing individual levels of challenges. With some of the younger kids in the class, it provides the parents the ability to train close to their child, allowing for them to mimic, and feel safe with their parents, for mine, it provides me a space to work along side of them, but also the freedom that i am in my class, and they are in their class, one of the instructors will provide them the coaching or guidance they need allowing for me to focus on myself, and discuss with them afterwards. This has proven to be beneficial even outside of the house. Some of the coaching received, i have already been able to apply at my work, when working with others, and even when preparing for big...
Read moreWhen I joined karate America it was for the kids. To help teach them self defense, who would have thought!!! I would be surprised at how much growth has come out of it. The team they have a process that works well, It’s a friendly environment that where everyone helps out if you don’t understand something they work with you until you understand. Since joining I’m sleeping better at night, There’s times I’m up before my alarm and I’ll try to get ready for the day, I’m careful of my eating. I have lost weight and still want to cut and shed more off. I’m more focused at work, my job is stressful overall, but after a long day or long week of working even when you don’t have any motivation. But once you arrive at the school you have a team to help you destress think with a clear mind. What I am trying to say is thank you for the encouragement, motivation. We are proud to be on this journey, for those who are thinking about joining try it out just don’t quit this team will help, motivate, encourage you no matter your weaknesses they are not here to put you down, they say no no, they pick you up.
