On another note, my husband and I are so impressed with what you have to offer in terms of helping developing our children’s future. I certainly wish there were more educators like yourselves out there.

That's wonderful 'Sensei'! The part I like is that you are a perfect parenting partner. It’s so nice to see a family work together as you guys do, with children and all. And Terrie is so great, because she treats each child like their hers and she mothers them sincerely.

I wish you guys all the best and will refer you to my friends. Can you send me a flyer and then I can add my personal note and forward it on.

We’re not in a rush for the belt. I am more concerned with her ability to use her mind effectively and understand that there is more than one way to skin a cat! I am confident in your technique and approach, so the belt will come in due course.
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Katherina!!! I did see you from a distance the other day, and thought to myself “wow… she’s lost some weight!” I didn’t realize it was that much. Surely.. if you can do it so can I. Check the new me around January-February.
Keep up the good work. Now make sure you keep it off!!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Harvey
Thank you so much for your efforts during the sessions. Hunter work up this morning, got changed, brushed his teeth, and got his own breakfast without even being told or asked to do so. I actually thought the boys were downstairs playing with their toys and got up to tell them to go get ready for school but there was my son just eating his breakfast and trying to warm up the bottle for his baby sister.
I can’t sing your praises enough. Thank you!!
With kind regards

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give you a heads up about yesterday’s class. The first words that came from Jacob’s mouth were that he LOVED the class and that he wants to go on Thursday. He loved that there were less kids in the class and I guess he felt that he was getting more attention.
So, great job and we will see you on Thursday.
Bertha
P.S. Jacob was showing off some of his moves to dad last night!!

Hi Shawn and Terri:
It has been just about 3 weeks since joining your sessions for Ladies Kickboxing. I would like to say that I am happy I found your company. Since I am in my 40's I thought it would be difficult for me to keep up with such training and wondered if it would actually benefit me. Well my energy level is up, my flexibility is much better, my strenth has already increased and I definitely feel my body starting to tone.
Being a teacher of young children is a demanding job and keeps me on my feet all day. I noticed that I am not as tired at the end of the day and I actually look forward to my evening Kickboxing classes after school.
Thank you both for being so supportive and knowing exactly what type of exercise and toning women need. Your knowledge, experience, upbeat personalities and enthusiasm drives us all through each class and you both always give us that extra push we need.
Sincerely,
Charlene Caldoza

Hi Shawn/Terrilyn,
I meant to email you both last week. I hadn't been to class to observe Tess for a while but came last week and I was truly impressed. She is certainly more confident. I told you, Shawn, that Tess actually likes to come to class now. From the beginning, the class has always been good and you always made it fun for the kids but as a girl it wasn't her "thing" - nothing to do with you. As you know, girls like ballet and the like. What I meant was that she enjoys it - I know it's because the class has helped build her self confidence and she can see herself progressing.
I was going to have her miss class this past Monday as we couldn't find her belt and she was so upset because she really wanted to go. We eventually found it her drawer and she happily went to class (she normally hangs it behind her door). When she came home, she immediately showed her moves to her daddy with much excitement. I am only saying all of this so when other parents of girl children tell you that their girls would never like jijitsu, you can tell them that you have a girly girl who didn't think she'd ever enjoy it and now does - and that she's still a girly girl with an edge.:) Money well spent!!!!
Thanks for all the two of you do.
Kind regards,
Dana

Thanks for your thoughtful and kind gesture.
You both are personable, warm, friendly, kind and caring; and you're a great couple and a great team. And if that's not enough you operate a great school with a family focus; and still deliver on your product of fitness and skills in martial art. I could not have asked for a better package. I'm in for the long haul.
Its a pleasre to belong to Small Circle Acdemy. The pace is right! The atmosphere is good! And the instructors are second to none! The choice to join was another good choice in my life. Thanks for a beneficial experience. Thanks to my wife who joined ahead of me and brought your opportunity within reach.
May God continue to bless you your family and your school.
