While the Mat has always practiced social distancing and all instructors and students wearing of masks while working out, it's good to see more students in the studio. Yes there are students on zoom and it's a great option for those who prefer it or can't get to the studio. The instruction from our Sensei's is not just good but great. The way we build from simple to more complex with moves building on each other is such a good way to learn and practice!!!
My daughter is seven and she really loves practicing martial arts with Alec. He is a gifted sensei and works well with kids, teaching respect and discipline.
I really did not know what to expect when my son (5 yrs old) mentioned he would like to take Karate classes. Seemed like a good thing for him all around, to learn about focus, following directions, being physically active, etc. Unlike my son, I do not expect him to come out of The Mat with Ninja skills, but rather to learn simple and effective reasoning and self defense skills he can utilize as he grows. Alec and Miranda have absolutely impressed me. The approach they take with their kids gozen karate curriculum is spot on with what I would like to see a 5/6 year old learning in a class like this. It's not a belt factory, not about how hard you can kick or punch, but the skills you can acquire to go through life with self confidence. I would highly recommend The Mat, especially for kids karate classes. The other classes look great as well, for adults and teens, but I have not partaken yet.
My girls enjoy learning as they exercise their muscles and minds! They arrive feeling good and they leave feeling great! Huge boost to their self confidence.
It's only been a little over a week but I'm already seeing and feeling some good benefits. All instructors are patient, explain well, and are very welcoming. I feel I've made a good choice joining!
I've had my boys here for several months now and am considering joining myself. I like the approach of teaching the kids movements appropriate to their age and the discussion of why the movement is important.
