Here are
a few comments from the parents
of the children attending Pace Institute.
“My
son loves the Little Ninja class. While attending these classes
my son has learned self-control, self confidence and discipline.
The Pace Institute of Karate has made a positive impact on my family
and me. Thank you.” Kristen Bishop - Parent
"Since
he started at Pace Karate, my son now cleans his own room, most
of the time without me telling him to do it. His self confidence
has skyrocketed and he has learned to fend off bullies in an assertive
way, without fighting!” Laurie LaSorsa - Parent
"We
wanted to tell you how important karate is to Steven. Karate has
increased his self confidence and independence. It has reinforced
our morals and aided in the job of parenting. Steven finished school
with a perfect report card." Julie Moreno - Parent
"When
we received Jake's report card we noticed a major improvement in
his attitude and organizational skills." "Jake has demonstrated
more control over his anger and disappointment.. and thanks to your
Super Star program he makes his bed promptly. Completing his homework
is no longer an issue." Paul & Lisa Checkur - Parents
“Since
our son started to attend the Pace Institute of Karate, he has developed
motivation and task oriented self discipline. He has also substantiated
a sense of achievement, while demonstrating the traits of courtesy
and respect. Understanding these fundamental concepts will facilitate
character development and basic skills needed for future success
in all aspects of life.” Mr. & Mrs. Nelson - Parents
"It
is with great pleasure that we take this time to write about our
110% satisfaction with the Pace Institute of Karate. Starting with
day one, our children, Elizabeth and Richard Smith, were introduced
to a positive, goal setting environment. Over the past few years
every member of the staff has shown skill, patience, and understanding
in regards to the development of our children." Jo-Ann & Justin Smith- Parents
"My
three sons have been students at Pace Karate ranging over seven
years. Each child has developed into a more self confident, self
controlled individual. Through the years of teaching from the dedicated
staff, my children are able to set personal goals in school, sports,
as well as karate. We would like to thank the Pace team for their
outstanding level of instruction and concern for our children's
safety and development." Bob & Jamie DePasquale - Parents
"Alec
started the program at Pace Institute a very shy, quiet and reserved
child. He was timid and insecure. Through the last couple of years
I’ve seen great growth in Alec’s personality. Your schools mentorship
has instilled and reinforced a discipline to set goals and work
hard to achieve them; whatever they may be, (learning a new technique
or skill, or learning to work to overcome his dyslexia). The like
skills of courtesy, honesty, indomitable spirit, courage and perseverance
are utilized every day by Alec, at home, at school with his teachers
and peers...We are proud to be participating in your excellent school."
Dianna Bowie - Parent
"I
would like to take the opportunity to give my insight into how
karate has helped Morgan grow in the other aspects of her life.
..I have watched as Morgan learned not only the physical moves
of karate, but to focus her mind and body, which helps her to
complete tasks… no matter the difficulty. The discipline Morgan
has learned reveals itself in her schoolwork, as she is an excellent
and self disciplined student.” Mark Williamson - Parent
"We
are writing to you to express how happy we are with the positive
effect that Pace Institute has had on our two daughters. The instructional
program at your school has been such a benefit to our daughter
Emma. Since she began training at Pace, we have seen an increased
level of confidence, self-esteem and self-discipline, in addition
to the physical skills that she continues to develop. Our daughter
Jill’s coordination and physical endurance has increased dramatically
and her improved sportsmanship makes us proud. We are grateful
for your outstanding facility and have enjoyed watching Emma and
Jill progress under your instruction and the efforts of your commendable
staff of instructors." Cynthia & Adam Dempsey - Parents
"I
have witnessed an overall change in Kelley’s attitude toward becoming
a goal oriented individual… ...I now see a new Kelly who is becoming
educated in a “real world environment” that teaches trying is everything
and personal character is greater than physical attributes. I am
very pleased with the progress my daughter has made at the Pace
Institute, more importantly, I am very proud of her.” Glenn McLaughlin - Parent
“As
a parent I could not be happier with the children’s program at Pace
Karate. The level of confidence, knowledge and fun, that both my
daughters have experienced to date, from the program cannot be overstated.
Most noticeable was my youngest daughter who was always very shy
and reserved. All the Sensei's have taken the time to help her overcome
her shyness. She just recently sparred for the first time and she
could not be more pleased, or, proud of herself! We as parents could
not be more proud of both of them, thanks for a great children's
program and a fine environment for the kids.” Nick & Kelly Chiarchiaro - Parents
“I
want to thank you for your program and all it has done for Tyler.
Of all the decisions we make concerning Tyler, having him join
your program has to have been one of the most rewarding for him.
It has improved his self confidence, self discipline and control.
He is more independent and more focused in school and during social
situations. I can’t thank Pace Karate enough for all they have
given us in the improvement of Tyler.” Dean and Stacey Jack, Stockholm, NJ
“Since
beginning at Pace Institute of Karate Jordan’s self confidence
and self worth has improved dramatically. The self discipline
he is gaining is also being routed toward his schoolwork and his
chores at home. I can’t say enough good words about the instructors
at the school. It’s nice to know that my son has others outside
of his family to look up to as a role model." Al and Stephanie Sales, Glenwood, NJ
“Kevin
has been coming to Pace since 2000. Pace has provided a safe and
structured environment where Kevin has been able to grow, not
just in karate skills but in self confidence and self discipline
as well. Probably the largest improvement we have seen is in his
ability to concentrate on the task at hand. We have found that
participating in karate class actually improves Kevin’s school
performance in the area of attention span. We consider Pace a
healthy enhancement to our son’s life." Jeffrey and April Good, Franklin, NJ
“...Wonderful
experience. It is really nice to see a program that pushes children
to do their individual best. Both of our children have learned
a lot from their experiences with Pace and love what they have
to offer. We would recommend this program to anyone with children...We
see the benefits all the time!” Mariann and James Dowd, Vernon, NJ
“When
there are so many things to say about something, it’s hard to
know where to begin. Our family is so lucky to be associated with
the Pace Institute of Karate. Ryan has been attending this school
since the summer of 2001. We have seen such a remarkable difference
in him because of this. His self confidence has improved immensely
by being involved in karate and interacting with you and your
instructors.
"Pace
Institute of Karate is a wonderful place to learn and grow. We’re
very happy we found you. Thank you so much." Jennifer and Bob Sunda, Wantage, NJ
"My
son Luke has applied the principles of the Black Belt, as well
as each part of student creed, at home and at school. Luke started
in the Little Ninjas class as a very active four-year-old and
has moved through the ranks to Karate Kid Advanced.
Now,
at age eight, he has more self-control, and is learning to focus
on each goal. What a great way to help build children's self-esteem
and self-confidence! Thanks to all at Pace Karate! We are looking
forward to watching Luke continue to grow and reach his goal of
Black Belt. Brad and Joyce Totaro - Vernon, NJ
“Thomas
just started kata and has been practicing every morning before
school. I watch his balance, his determination and see his increased
persistence. I wonder how they him not only to use his physical
power but also his mental power. He has gained amazing focus and
discipline in all areas of his life. Shihan and the Sensei’s are
wonderful, caring teachers and role models. He has been at Pace
for 3 1/2 years and plans on achieving his black belt some day.”
Dionne Ryder, Vernon, NJ
“Danielle
started karate at almost four years of age. She is now eight and
still enjoys the classes very much. Karate has helped her in many
ways. She has built self confidence at an early age.
A
few months ago she very much wanted to become a member of the
Black Belt Club. We decided to sign her up. This has taught her
about commitment. In this age of computers and television, karate
also teaches her about physical exercise and it’s importance.
I
sincerely believe that attending Pace Institute of Karate has
and will effect her attitude about herself and others for the
better now and for the rest of her life.” Elizabeth Boyle, Vernon, NJ
“The
Pace Institute of Karate is a special place where life lessons
are learned...Our son's self confidence has grown as he works
his way up the martial art's ladder of success.
These lessons will continue to benefit him through the rest of
his life. Thank you Pace for a program that recognizes the "whole
child.”
Mariann and James Dowd, Vernon, NJ
