"My son has been with Dawn Barnes for four years. He has learned so much from karate - and from the staff at Dawn Barnes. We could not have been happier with all that he has taken from the sport and from the company. They have reinforced life lessons of respect, self worth and patience. He has traveled through the programs over the years and we have watched him bring the lessons of the "dojo" into his daily life. We have been so happy with Karate Kids and highly recommend theprogram and the staff of Dawn Barnes to any parent looking for a life sport for their child." Jodie S. "Our 9 year old son has been coming to Karate Kids for 3 years. When he started, he was very insecure about almost any physical activity. KK has helped him build his confidence, self esteem and his motor skills. He's now a confident, happy purple belt. He's participating in tournaments now, something we never dreamed he would do. The staff is kind, patient and very supportive. We're thrilled with Karate Kids, and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a confidence building, physical activity for their kids." Bill S. "We absolutely love Dawn Barnes Karate Kids. Having recently moved to Calabasas, California, we feel very fortunate to have found this Karate school. Our son who is 11 yrs. old loves, loves, loves going to class and that just says it all:) The staff is professional and friendly. The class schedule is more than accommodating and flexible. The program is excellent and affordable. There are many locations that make it easy to get to class even if you're in another city! I could go on and on about this school. We feel blessed to have our child in such a positive and nurturing environment." Lillian L.
