Dear Prospective Students in Beaverton, Tigard and surrounding towns:

What has Karate done for me? In 1996, I began to have panic attacks. Then, depression followed. For years, I tried different medication with little or no success. I became an agoraphobic. I rarely left the house because of fear. In, the spring of 2002, I hit rock bottom. One of the worse things that could happen to an agoraphobic (such as myself) occurred. I became a victim of a terrible crime. Words, cannot express the desperate state of despair that I entered. I turned almost everywhere for help. I had noticed the Family Martial Arts Academy on several occasions, but I did not have the confidence to check it out. That is, until, spring 2005. I got the courage to stop in; of course, I brought my mother along for the sense of security. Sensei was kind, proper, and motivating. Hard for me to believe, but I joined with my two sons. Sensei has showed me how to trust again. It took some time, but with discipline of both body and mind, I overcame my despair. For me, it is a miracle. Once, again, I am a Leader, and involved in the community. Instead of looking down, I look ahead to the wonderful possibilities in life. I work part time, take the boys to swimming, love to shop, joined the Cub Scouts as a Den Leader, drive at night, take my boys to the movies, or to eat at a restaurant, go to church, and especially, we go to Karate twice a week. These, were the impossible, just a short while back. I am telling my story in very few words, but it’s important to let others know how awesome Family Martial Arts Academy and Sensei Shoen have been for us. They taught my family and me, qualities that will last a lifetime. I am thankful.

Martial Arts helps me to be more focused, and concentrate in my school and Pastoral work. I can see that the hard work [in karate] helps me with life’s challenges, especially the challenge of being virtuous. My best day in Martial Arts is graduation day – challenging, exerting, and fulfilling.

“Aside from my parents, no other person has had such a profound and positive influence on my life.”

I have trained with Sensei for several years. I have not only gained practical defensive tactics skill and the ability to apply my training, but a keen level of awareness and a trained (educated) eye for the functionality of technique. The experience I gained from is an invaluable asset and tool that has become part of who I am. Aside from my parents, no other person has had such a profound and positive influence on my life

In the time I’ve been a member of the academy, I have felt both a sense of pride and humility. Pride in being part of such a wonderful pursuit and humility by what I must learn. To date I have managed to apply most of the physical, mental, and emotional techniques that I’ve learned to my daily life. I pay more attention to my tasks. Thank you, Sir.

“I don’t make excuses anymore, I feel better physically and I have been able to focus and expand my core values.”

Hi My name is Paul Sepanovich and I would like to talk to you about Family Karate. After a long and often intimidating search of Martial Art’s schools I found FKA by accident, but now I like to think it was fate instead of an accident that brought me here. I have always been somewhat of a slacker my whole life, never wanting to push my self to accomplish my goals. Whether it be going to the gym, eating healthier or pushing myself in my profession, I’ve always had an excuse to tell myself. After finally forcing myself I mustered up the courage to go to the school.

My first time there I was extremely intimidated. Here’s all these people hoping and flying around practicing all these moves and combo’s that I know NOTHING about! Even though I knew nothing the staff and my fellow students took the time and patience to explain and re-explain what I needed to do. I have never felt so much compassion and camaraderie before. This isn’t your everyday run of the mill type of school. Here you have people that really care about each other and will do anything they can to help you go that extra mile. Even though I have only been at the school a short time I can already feel the impact that Sensei and everyone at Family Karate has had on me.

I don’t make excuses anymore, I feel better physically and I have been able to focus and expand my core values and I thank you Sensei and everyone at the dojo from the bottom of my heart. If your looking for a no nonsense, experienced group of people that really do care about you, the individual Then look no further then Family Karate. Thank you and I hope to see you in class one day soon. .

“I can honestly say Family Karate Academy has changed my life.”

I started the class one year ago wanting to become a better martial artist, as well as get in shape. One year later I accomplished those feats with the guidence and excellent training from the FKA. Since last June i’ve already lost 52 lbs. and i am in the best shape of my life. In attending FKA I feel more confident in my looks as well as my martial arts abilities. I would recommend the FKA to anyone, no matter what shape or size because whether your goal is to lose weight, become more confident, or become a better martial artist, Family Karate will help you achieve it.

You’ll gain more energy and feel better than ever before. Your work and study habits will improve as your concentration sharpens.

“The confidence I have gained is priceless.”

In the short time I have been involved in the class I have learned more practical skills than I did with 3 years of taekwon-do. The classes have been geared towards my line of work and have made me aware of the many dangers facing me in the street and how to defend myself from them. The confidence I have gained is priceless. I recommend this class to anyone serious about their job. It really makes you a better person.
