Meet the Banaszak-Holl Family!

Dear Grand Master Hafner,

“Studying Karate impacts my personal and professional life in a number of ways.  The most obvious effect in both arenas relates to a dramatically increased level of physical fitness.  I feel better at home and work and my doctor tells me my blood pressure has decreased.  Feeling good certainly makes every day at home or work go a lot better.

My son and I have been studying at “Keith Hafner’s Karate” for about four years.  We set the goal of reaching Black Belt together about three months after we started.  Setting a difficult, challenging, and significant goal with a child, and working together to achieve it for four years, has had a profound impact on my son’s and my relationship.  Perhaps most importantly, it has helped me to appreciate and respect his hopes and dreams.

As a professional teacher, going “back to school” at “Keith Hafner’s Karate” is an eye opening experience. The focus on positive reinforcement and personal attention is impressive!”
