About our Kid's Programs
"Students
develop the confidence to stand up for themselves when they must, to
walk away from a fight when they can, and to raise their hand in math
class and ask when they don't understand. Karate kids get better grades
because they practice their concentration skills two times a week in a
safe environment where they are challenged to be their "black belt"
best in all areas of their life; at school, with family, with friends,
and in other sports."
-Dale "Apollo" Cook

"Why Martial Arts for my child?"
Testimonial #1
Dear Mr. Cook,
I
moved from California with ******(son) at the age of six after losing
his father, for a better life. I am a single mother now and this was
something I felt my child needed. I want to let you know, he is a brown
belt and it has affected every area of his life.
He has excelled in
school, it has helped build his self confidence in other activities.
His focus and concentration improved. I just don't know how to thank
you for providing a place where he can connect with other children and
not focus so much on the loss of his father. He has great role models
in his instructors and I have met many wonderful people at Apollo's
Karate.
Thank You
Pam
Testimonial #2
Dear Mr. Cook,
This
letter is for you and the staff at Apollo's Karate. I have had my
children involved in so many activities over the years. Never have I
been to a place as warm and welcoming as Apollo's Karate.
I have
twin boys and it has been difficult to find an activity that they
didn't compete against each other in, karate has definitely been that
avenue for them.
Thank You
Jara
