I think Mark and Anna are gifted teachers.  It's apparent that they love Karate and love teaching.   Both have contributed much to the personal growth of my son and myself.  Thanks!

My children and I have been studying for four years at Mountain Eagle Karate Academy.  I am glad that I tried karate, because I have become stronger and more confident as a result. Renshi Mark, Sensi Anna, and the other instructors always maintain a safe and encouraging atmosphere, while expecting everyone to give their best effort.
