"Through the teaching of Instructor Joe and the other students, Jerry has learned to be patient and understand the concept of working as a group. Above all, he has learned tremendous respect for himself and others, along with a drive to complete each belt and the rewards he accomplishes within himself when he completes the testing. He looks forward to the days he has class and has made many friends. It is a joy to see Instructor Joe with the kids. I never miss a class -- his teaching abilities are outstanding."
