Cannot fault SMA karate. My 7 year old has grown in confidence and determination, she had found a new passion through coming here, from a child that wouldn't much leave my side, she loves coming to karate, her confidence has absolutely sky rocketed. Friendly and accommodating, great for discipline, sorts miss 7s attitude out really quick. She has a definite respect for her sensei. Thank you
