Review of TOMA:
My 5 year old son was interested in taking karate lessons and after researching some local karate schools we decided to go with TOMA. He has been a student there for one year and he absolutely loves it, as do I. The school has a very intimate family feel to it. All of the instructors always take the time to talk to my son and me before and after class about karate and /or life. It is obvious that they truly care about their students.
At TOMA there is a perfect mixture of hard work, discipline, fun, exercise and technique. The instructors relate karate to everyday life by emphasizing how discipline and respect relate to karate and home/school life. The instructors also have an amazing ability to make karate fun by incorporating fun games and activities to teach the use of proper technique. The junior students are taught to look up to and respect their elders and higher rank students while the senior students are taught to help the juniors to improve. This encourages a sense of pride in being a higher rank which causes the students to constantly try to improve themselves.
I am so thankful that we found TOMA and would recommend it to anyone looking to sign their child up for martial arts.
