Master Beard and his team are great! Both my girls love going there. They have improved so much and started at very early ages ( my younger daughter was about to turn 3 when she started). It is amazing to watch them grow in skill and confidence! Highly recommend!

If you are looking for your child an after school program, this is a go to. i have two children involded and they love it. they do always want to attend. all i know is that at the end, they are able to defend themselves when the circumstance happens.
master beard brings in fun into the program and acknowledges them that they are still children so they play for bit before teaching them the discipline of the martial arts.
as teacher, we are taught to start with the strength of the child working your way towards to the things the children need to improve on. and he right on to that.
