From the Students...

In 2009, I started taking karate class at Hoover's ATA Black Belt Academy. It was difficult at first, but I kept on trying and trying again.
Three of my karate teachers told the whole class that it is important to keep going and do not give up even when things get tough. So that is what I have done.
It is now 2010, and I am still taking classes. I am trying to get my Black Belt. Right now I am on my Purple / Gold Belt. In class, we have been practicing breaking boards. It is a lot of fun!
I enjoy going to class so much I decided to ask if I could help mentor other students. So, on Friday mornings I go to another class to help the teachers. I encourage the new students to have a positive attitude, not give up, and to have fun.
The other teachers, Chief Master Hoover, Mr. B and Becky, are so proud of me for helping out on Friday mornings. I am proud of myself for doing these things. I greatly encourage you to try karate. It is fun, challenging, and a great way to exercise.
