Among all the classes our four year old twins attend, Martial Arts class at
Ryer Academy is by far our favorite. In addition to being the cutest thing
to watch toddlers while they passionately learn (in their own words) how to become ninjas, it is an activity that not only helps them physically but
continuously grows them mentally & emotionally. Fully committed, attentive, supportive and very patient instructors with such a toddler friendly fun style made this class our kids' favorite too. And we can see the impact outside the classroom. One day, we were getting ready to leave the house and our son rushed and opened the door before we were ready. We told him it was not time yet and he needed to close the door and wait for a few more minutes. At that moment, our daughter jumped in and closed the door. He was upset and started complaining loudly. When we least expected, our daughter put her arm around his shoulder and with a calm tone said what does our ninja teacher says, calm cool mind, calm cool mind. They are only four years old and of course they cannot always act on it but we were so happy to see that deep down in there, they are carrying many things they learn at Ryer Academy with them after the class too. A big thank you to Mr Josh and all the preschool instructors for such an amazing program! "
