Former Summer Camper unsolicited email:
“Thank you Mr. & Mrs. C. (owners of Waldorf Martial Arts)! You had such an impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for all that you taught me. Thank you for being a huge part of my life!” Myles S.
Summer Camper’s Grandmother sends us this (unsolicited):
“I just wanted you to know that you and your program have been a major contribution to Erin ‘s success in school because of the discipline, concentration, consideration for others and goal setting that was taught to her at Waldorf Martial Arts. My advice to parents is that if you want to raise a child to be the child every parent wishes they had, the help, advice, and values that you and your instructors instill in all your students, Waldorf Martial Arts is where you should take them.” Grandma Pat F.
Student’s Father sends us an unsolicited letter of thanks!:
“… My little boy he has grown into a young man with great morals, focus, and self- discipline. I frequently have people tell me what a great kid he is — and I immediately tell them it’s all thanks to you, at Waldorf Martial Arts. You have an awesome program that not only teaches kids a martial art, but to use it responsibly. By teaching the kids this they learn focus and how to fit into today’s society. Whether you realize it or not, you are teaching not just Tae Kwon Do, you are teaching kids how to succeed in life. I wanted to ensure you knew just how much you are touching the young lives in our community. You may not know it — but you are making a difference in young people ‘s lives. I am proud to know you and I am forever in your debt. “ Mark M.
