Self-defense is one of the most popular kid’s activities that not only prepares your little one for defending themselves against bullies but also helps develop valuable skills along the way. Picking the right program for your kids is crucial because not all programs are alike. However, with so many different options the decision might leave…
When we first started with Grandmaster Fanelli, my son was a little shy about going to class. He’s 3 years old and one of the younger ones in the class. However, he’s now come to absolutely love going to practice. He’s learned not only taekwondo skills but also other valuable lessons. He’s learned to use his voice, respect himself and others, and how to value discipline. He loves the days he gets to go to class.
Grandmaster Fanelli has a fantastic approach with kids of all ages. And with his experience, you can see he quickly recognizes what each kid needs to be successful. He individualizes his feedback to the kids. He doesn’t run a class just for the sake of running it and finishing it quickly. He pays close attention to each kid and addresses each need quickly. He can be as fun and silly as he can be serious and disciplined. He is able to be the teacher each kid needs and it’s evident through the class every time. He also encourages kids to apply their lessons of respect and discipline throughout their lives and time at home and school as well. Makes a huge difference! As for the logistics, the facility and space are great. All the equipment is neat and very clean despite the numerous amounts of classes and students each day. All the lessons and testing are well organized. Grandmaster Fanelli is easy to contact for any concerns. Highly recommend joining for any kid!
If you want a good workout for your kids as well as education in discipline and respect this place is a great choice. Grandmaster Fanelli lives what he teaches. He shows respect to every student of his, he knows all their names (and they are a lot), and he makes an effort to also get to know their families. Our kids love to go there since they get a clear structure and lots of fun. He doesn’t shy away from disciplining students in front of us parents what feels like he’s taking some weight off our shoulders. Thanks a lot!
