We as parents decided to have our daughter try karate. After meeting with Senpai Meilynn we decided his teaching style, skills and experience would be the best fit. Not only has my daughter gained extensive karate skills but most importantly she has gained self confidence. She is well equipped to stick up for herself in any situation and has the confidence that she can defend herself if she needed. I am forever grateful to IMA Nihon Karate Do!
