“Sensei Kohn has a gift.  Through Sensei’s “tough love,” his great sensitivity and strength, my son, for the first time in his 12-year-old life, has reached inside and found the motivation to set goals for himself….and challenge himself to reach those goals.” -Harriet Seitler

“Sensei Kohn is above and beyond the most intuitive teacher I have ever met. He instinctively knows what each child needs to succeed.  As he teaches karate, his students learn about themselves, the importance of hard work, and how to be better people.  They develop self-respect, discipline and dignity.   My son Michael has been changed forever by the incredible influence of Sensei Kohn.”  -Julie McCarthy

“Over 20 years ago my wife and I brought our son, Kiel, then an 8-year-old child with cerebral palsy and visual impairments to Sensei Jeff Kohn.  It turned out to be one of the most positive experiences influencing Kiel’s development. Somehow, Sensei Kohn seems to know what each child specifically needs to achieve personal, and often general greatness.  Kiel went on to earn his black belt and a whole new attitude about the limitation that his disability might impose.  I am awed that a sensei who has trained many national and international champions would focus his talents on children with disabilities.” -Ken Moses, PH.D.

“Karate has impacted my son’s life tremendously.  When he started at the dojo he was four and a half and couldn’t jump off the ground.  He is 15 now, taking his blue belt test, riding a bike, skiing, playing baseball and basketball and swimming…he is fully athletic.” -Rebecca Fishman

“We had done all we could in occupational therapy.  We wanted to find something that would include Lindsey in an activity with other kids, something that would be more pertinent to her life.  For Lindsey there are no words to express how much karate has helped her to process and become more coordinated, it has become invaluable.” -Debbie Cogan

“My son has sensory integration dysfunction and low muscle tone.  Karate has helped with his strength, balance, processing and motor planning abilities.  I have seen an improvement in his confidence and he has also become more independent.” -Beth Jerva
