Conner's Story I initially started looking for a martial arts program five years ago for my son Conner, who has always been small and shy for his age. I looked at several different programs around the area, and ultimately chose Jerry Hansman Karate for several reasons: Jerry Hansman’s Karate offered more classes per week than any other school in the area, so it fit better into our already busy schedule. As a former serviceman and police officer, Sensei Hansman can also teach students the physical and mental aspects of practical self-defense. Since Jerry and his staff have trained in Okinawa, I know we are getting the real thing. Eventually, both my daughter Kaitlyn and I also signed up for classes. What 10
we got was much more than just karate! We train as a family and the environment in the dojo creates another opportunity to connect with my children. Even though I have coached my kids in other sports, none of them have helped us bond the way karate has! The lessons Conner and Kaitlyn have learned in the dojo have helped them become better students and citizens as a whole. My son also found his confidence at Jerry Hansman’s Karate. Our once shy kid, who always avoided “the pile” in other sports, now jumps right in, whether it’s football, basketball, or anything else that requires contact. He has learned how to incorporate the fundamentals of karate into every day activities. Jerry Hansman’s Karate is a great place for kids and adults!
