Dear Mr. & Mrs. King,
We'd like to thank you & your staff for
everything you have done for our son, Daniel. We
enrolled him in your Karate academy when he was 6
years old and he has learned so much. He not only
learned how to defend himself, he also learned to
respect himself as well as others and develop a
sense of responsibility. It's been 10 years since
he started and Daniel is now a Black Belt with a
promising future. Your positive influence and
support helped him to become more
self-disciplined, confident, and proud of his
accomplishments. Enrolling him in your Karate
academy was one of the best decisions we've ever
made.
Sincerely, Cathy and Scott Demarest
Mr King and Staff
I enrolled Kasey in the after school program
as an alternative to day care when she was in
the fifth grade. AAKA has taught her
discipline, self control, and respect. They
also get a great deal of exercise. Now old
enough to attend the adult evening class, she
has now shown a greater desire in karate and
now attends class 5 nights a week. She is
now a black belt first degree and had the
opportunity to test in front of Soke Kozo
Kuniba, third generation head of Shito-Ryu
Karate, in Osaka, Japan. What an honor! The
staff at AAKA is wonderful to work
with. Jeanette Heinkel
Dear Mr. & Mrs. King and Staff:
Since we first enrolled Matt and Ashley in your
after school program in 2002, the experience has both
exceeded our greatest expectations and provided us
with peace of mind that our children are in excellent
hands. Now that Matt and Ashley have attained their
junior black belts, we wanted to extend our utmost
gratitude and praise for the fantastic training and
discipline instilled in our children over the past 4½
years by the AAKA staff. It has been an absolute
pleasure to have them at AAKA and we look forward to
many more great years. Sincerely, Rick and Mitzi
Magsam
Shihan King
Our daughter, Zoe, has been attending the
Altamonte American Karate Academy since the
first grade. In the 5 years she has been
there we have seen her achieve the highest
level a student her age can reach…Junior Black
Belt.
Jim and Jody King,
along with their staff, have instilled in my
daughter, over the years, a belief that she
can achieve whatever she puts her mind to.
Not just in becoming a Junior Black Belt but
also in attaining better grades in school and
realizing honors in other endeavors she has
pursued.
Discipline is also part of the learning
experience.
The discipline goes beyond just behaving well,
this is discipline of mind and body. It
is about self-control and concentration.
If you have ever seen day care…this ain’t
it.
This academy is about building character and a
since of worth and achievement.

Dear Mr. King-
When I
first visited your school 4 years ago, your
advice to me was, if you are looking for
someone to baby your child, then this is not
the place for you.
However, if you want an environment that will
build self esteem and confidence in your
child, then you are exactly where you need to
be. My daughter is a good kid and I would love
to take all the credit, but unfortunately I
can’t. The confidence, discipline and respect
practiced on a daily basis at your school have
given Tada the tools she needs to be her own
person in today’s crazy world. It’s hard
enough to be a kid, let alone be a good kid in
today’s society.
Kudos to yourself, your staff and your
school.
Melissa Rudolph
