Since I have joined Karate I have seen many changes in my life. In school I have become more focused and have more confidence in myself. At home I help my mom and dad by doing my chores. Karate has taught me to do a better job at whatever I am doing. Besides, Karate is a whole bunch of fun - CKC member

My wife and I are very happy with the progress our family has made in the past 6 weeks since enrolling in your academy. Your philosophy and approach to teaching Karate has resulted in a positive change in our family in that it has taught us, as well as our four children, a great deal regarding self-discipline, respect for self and others, positive attitude, and self-confidence. Even our 12 year old, who was extremely reluctant to start and thought she wouldn't like it, really enjoys it and looks forward to each class.

We are looking forward to continued improvement and progression at the Culin Karate Center - CKC family members

Our sons have shown a great deal of excitement for Karate. Since my husband has been deployed to Fort Hood in preparation for a one-year Iraq deployment, discipline as a "single" mom has been a concern for me. The instruction, the wonderful lessons about "honesty in the heart" and the discussions about what a "black belt would do" have made my job easier, and made the boys see a consistent message. Your classes further confirm what my husband and I teach at home.

Our son's comments about Karate: "It makes me strong. I'm really into it because it is fun and make me feel good. I really want to get to a higher belt".

"I love Karate because I'm learning how to be a black belt someday".

I'm thrilled with the fact that the boys are encouraged by the instructors and the other children, and that they are given an opportunity to gain self-confidence at such a your age. My experience shows that separations during long military deployments can be very difficult for children. The classes are something the boys really enjoy, and it gives them something to focus on and look forward to each week.

Master Culin, you are such a positive role model for the boys, and I appreciate you very much - CKC family

Last summer I had the privilege of participating in a self-defense seminar at Culin Karate Center. Although I was a bit apprehensive, Master Joseph Culin was outstanding at instructing and demonstrating valuable techniques for self-defense. I appreciated his willingness to supple ample time to practice, and to make time for an extensive questions and answers session. I felt so much more empowered to protect myself in any unfamiliar situation. My self-awareness has increased as well as my confidence. Of course your goal is to never be in a situation that demands the need for self-defense, but I am prepared and grateful for my new skills in the event I find myself in a negative situation. I highly recommend Master Culin's Karate Center and self-defense seminars - Non-member of CKC (but soon to be member!!)
