Little Ninjas Karate Classes

Hi Linda,

My daughters (Hannah and Maia)are Bryce Taylor"s cousins. They had never taken a karate class and I was a little nervous about how they would respond to the whole thing but you were so good at making them feel at ease and helping them through every step of the way. I am very impressed. Hannah and Maia had a great time. Let me know if you can recommend a Martial arts school in the Rockville, MD area. Thank you for everything. My sister really lucked out when she found you guys.

Dear Linda,

Now that Reilly is about to test for her Black Belt in the Little Ninjas I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The entire journey from her White belt to this point has been nothing short of incredible.

I remember when Carolyn and I brought Reilly to TKC for a trial lesson in July of 2007 at five years old. Reilly was enrolled in ballet and gymnastics and for some reason did not want to try Karate, we literally asked her for months. It turned out that she was afraid to get hit and equally afraid to do her keyops (can you correct the spelling) because she thought people would laugh at her. After meeting you, and doing her trial lesson, Reilly was hooked, she immediately dropped her gymnastics class and within a month was attending your class three times a week. She became one dedicated Little Ninja, thanks to you and your caring team.

Carolyn and I loved the nurturing environment you created, it didnt take more than one or two lessons to get over her fears. We worked very diligently with her from the day she was born to understand respect and caring, your classes reinforced that and taught her about community, helping and discipline. I think together she is shaping up to be an incredible young lady. Reilly has never asked to miss a class and attended nearly every one since she started except for when the studio was closed or she had a cold. I dont know if determination like that came from within or you brought it out, but I think that is incredible for a 5 or 6 year old. Reilly came to your Halloween events and even had the best birthday party of her life (so far) at the studio. I know it sounds like I am gushing here, but you deserve a lot of credit for helping Reilly as well as all of the other kids your teaching. Reilly loves that youve let her help with the White Belt class on Saturdays after her class, it means so much to her to pass on what she has learned as well as be your helper.

On a final note, Reilly started first grade in September, on the first day of class the teacher handed out a form for the children to fill out, asking them questions like name, address, pets and what you want to be when you grow up. Reilly answered that last question that she wants to be a Karate Instructor when she grows up.
Once again Linda, THANK YOU for being such an amazing part of our daughters life.

Kindest Regards,

Both of my children love Little Ninjas Karate. Despite their completely different skills, personalities and demeanors, they both really love taking class. The instructors are extremely adaptable and know how to work with the strengths and needs of each child to help him/her learn and enjoy learning. I love that they are learning important skills while building strength and character that will serve them well throughout their lives. The sense of accomplishment they have while earning tips and higher belts is priceless.

LNK has taught our son respect, confidence, and a strong sense of self while having fun. And now our daughter is following in his footsteps. We are so grateful to Sensei Linda and the LNK staff.
