THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE...

"...I appreciate your consistency with doing what is right, and not always mainstream...your messages for kids to take home, general life skills which are not so common anymore [and]...your ability to change and incorporate new ideas weekly.  It is nice to have both [Sensei Dennis and Sempai Christine] teaching as you each have strengths which are different but complimentary at the same time.  As a parent who thinks differently than most,some of your ideas about treating the earth with respect as well as each other reinforces what we daily try to instill in our kids...On a personal note, [our family] really enjoys the Dojo and all it represents.  Thanks."  
Dr. Roger G., Sylvan Lake (Honbu) Dojo

 
"I want to thank you both, not just for the training you have given me, but for the example as a person as well. The strength of character, and the perserverance you both personify is a great example... I am left with the firm belief I could not have done this without you both." Tim B., Rimbey Dojo



"We have a noticed a positive change in Julian and being a member of the Goju Ryu Karate Club (Central Alberta Martial Arts Centre)  is something he now wants; we no longer have to tell him to go to Karate, he looks forward to it.  Thank you for all you do." Jason M. Sylvan Lake, (Honbu) Dojo

"As another day passes I learn more of my reason to be in and master the art and life time experience of Karate. The more I take in the more knowledgeable I feel, but only to remember that a lot to learn is still yet to come. My Favorite inspiration Quote:
 "At times our own light goes out and is re-kindled by a spark from another person." Something that Sempai Chris and Sensei Dennis are  great examples of, not only in karate but through life time experiences." Shady F., Rimbey Dojo



"I strongly feel that the additional focus to manage/stop bullying, teaching/practicing respect for self & others, self-discipline and other valuable tools ~ aside from the actual karate training, is invaluable to our son’s upbringing. I will be bringing Hope (6 mth old daughter) just as soon as she is old enough to attend." ~ Janelle B., Sylvan Lake Dojo
