Dear Master Tramontano, I just wanted to thank you and your team at West Boca Karate for the phenomenal work you have done with my son. When William first started karate, he was really shy around a group of children and unfortunately was sometimes bullied by other aggressive children. His pediatrician recommended karate to build his stamina, as well as his motor skills, but only if the instructor made it interesting for the children and fun. We researched the different forms or karate and tae kwon do and interviewed several of the Instructors as well as visiting the different classrooms and floors. In speaking with friends, I was given your name by one of your previous students going off to university. After meeting you and your team, William only wanted to go to West Boca Karate. Your unique style of teaching karate is not only engaging and fun, but has brought about confidence in my son. I believe your virtual competition and video taping of the children teaching others the various karate moves is also building his character and confidence. You have taught him self-confidence, as well as the skills to walk away proudly from any confrontation situation, yet if necessary, stand his ground to defend himself. He is no longer afraid of reading aloud or standing up in front of a group to express his feelings. He was also recognized by his teacher at school for his much improved confidence in reading and becoming a leader in the classroom. This is very important in the building a child’s self-esteem and character. Actually at his last karate lesson to my surprise, when asked if anyone had any more announcements, he stood up and proudly proclaimed “I love taking karate” in front of all of his classmates and their families. He looks forward to his weekly lesions as well as your mentorship. You are shaping the mind and bodies of future generation. Thank you! Sincerely, Alissa
