Rod's Martial Arts Kendall Hammocks Karate

I am extremely happy that I decided to enroll my son and daughter in Master Rod's Martial Arts class. Master Rod provides individual attention and guidance to his students and incorporates life lessons in every class. He engages his students and asks them not only to give their best effort in his class but also everything they do in life. I know I made the right choice by enrolling them in his program.

I knew after my first conversation with Master Rod that his class would be a great experience for our son. We were looking for something to help with our 6 year old's focus, confidence and self discipline. We didn't like the competitiveness of sports teams for his age and felt that he needed something that focused on the inner workings of his development. We are so pleased with how much our son loves to go to class. Master Rod is incredibly patient, he is kind, he is a wonderful role model (every class seems to have a lesson) but he is also firm - producing respect from the kids. My son was shy the first day we came to watch the class, and Master Rod guided us to just let him be. We did just that, and midway through the class, my son couldn't wait to join. Master Rod knew just what to do without needing to convince or force anything. This really showed us that he could read and understand children and respond in ways that get them to WANT to engage. I highly recommend the school to anyone wanting to teach their children self respect, respect for others, focus and emotional regulation.
