Testimonials From Our Students and Parents

• a letter of appreciation

  Chang Karate

  Warminster, PA

  It is hard to find the words of praise that can adequately reflect our appreciation for our Sa Bom Nim, Master Chang and Mark at Chang Karate. Our daughter Alyssa was born prematurely because of a car accident that we were involved in while my wife was pregnant. As she got older, we found that she suffered from a disability that was a form of Cerebral Palsy called Hemi paresis. This left Alyssa with a limited use and control of her left leg and hand. Being a very determined and gifted little girl, she soon astounded us and especially the medical community with her progress. She "graduated" from her therapies and we were left with finding a private option to continue her physical progress. My wife found Chang Karate and Master Chang in the phone book and we contacted him because of his semi private classes and his experience with "Special Needs" children. After speaking with him on the phone we were instantly impressed with him. He has a gentle manner and way of dealing with children without sacrificing seriousness and discipline. Alyssa has now been at Chang Karate for over two years and has just tested for and received her Green Belt. When she started karate, the doctors told us that she had 30% and 70% dexterity in her hand and leg respectively. Now she has been graded at 50% and 90% ability which is very close to normal ability. In addition, the doctors are very proud of her for strengthening her back muscles as an attempt to stave off Scoliosis of which she has a predisposition due to the Hemi paresis. We know that we owe Alyssa's success and physical improvements to her Karate instructors Master Chang, Mark, and all of the very committed Black Belts who assist in the younger classes at Chang Karate.

  Thank you,

  Howard & Michele C

  When we first started looking for a karate school for our son, we checked out quite a few places, some more affordable. However, after talking to Master Chang, we soon realized that his karate was really the only school for us. I remember saying to him that signing up seemed like a large commitment for such a young boy. He told us that he teaches more than just karate, which he has. Our son Brian has now been taking karate for 4 years with master Chang. He has achieved his black belt. Karate has helped him in many ways. His mother and I believe his confidence has grown. He gets an excellent physical workout. He has made new friends. We feel the most important thing that Brian has learned is respect. He respects his other karate brothers as well as Master Chang. Even at home, when we have said, what do you think Master Chang would say, he knows if he has stepped out of line. He has learned a sense of accomplishment. As with any sport or activity, practice is important. Three to four times a week is sometimes a lot with school and other activities. Now, after receiving his black belt he knows that the benefit of sticking with something pays off. We are very proud of him and glad we made the choice of Chang Karate.

• from T Simmons

  In choosing a karate school, I went to several different schools and I observed the various classes. Each had their own positives and negatives which affected my decision. I watched the instructors as well as the students. They (the students) were focused, respectful, and disciplined. Since starting karate, I have seen great improvement school work, she went from being a B- and C student to a more confident student, whose grades have improved greatly now she's getting A- and B+ grade which is great. I credit Sabomnim and the other instructors with helping improve her confidence level.

• from a proud Mom!

  Natalie started at Chang Karate School in Dec '07. We had just moved from Long Island, and we didn't know anyone or any schools. I called many schools, but received the most support and positive attitude from Chang Karate School. Since starting (Natalie was only 4½), she has rocketed with her confidence and has a huge sense of pride in herself! Natalie has become a child who wants to help her piers and encourage everyone around her. She responds to authority and discipline now, without question. Natalie truly loves the the experience with the school and can't wait for the "next test" to move up in rank!

• from Cindy, Hatboro, PA

  My son started with Chang Karate School shortly after he turned 6. We had previously noted a lack of confidence in him in the classroom, on the soccer field, and in social situations. Now, 6 months later, he is much more confident, raises his hand classroom situations, and is aggressive (in a good way) on the soccer field. He is increasingly comfortable in social situations. He always comes out of karate class with a smile. Master Chang, and the other black belt instructors, are so encouraging to the children and really show they care, as they increase the children's focus and self-discipline. I would recommend Chang Karate School very highly.

• from Mark Hanisco, Warminster, PA

  I trained with Master Chang for about 6-years. I had to leave the school for a while because of problems at home. I wanted to come back, but was afraid because of my weight and age, and the fact that I had been gone for 12-years. Master Chang encouraged me to rejoin. After 1-year of training, I was down 85-pounds and feeling much better. I got so much out of the school that I decided to sign-up my granddaughter. She has been at the school for only a short time, but I can already see an improvement in her focus and concentration.
