1. Determination and Focus Testimonial<br />My mom and I are going to write this letter for Master Thomas and Mrs. Thomas. I was unfocused and confused in my life. My grades were dropping and I was running around the house causing my mother horrible headaches. That was until she brought me to Master Tracy Lee at Changing Lives Martial Arts. In Karate for Kids Life Skills, Master Lee taught me skills that will follow me throughout my life, not just stay in his dojo. This is exactly what I needed, not just martial arts protection skills, but better life skills. After she saw how I changed, my mom even signed herself up for adult programs at Changing Lives.<br />Before I arrived at Changing Lives, my grades were bad, I did not have many friends, and I was causing problems with my parents at home. Not only did Master Lee help improve my physical condition, he helped me grow as a person. Karate for Kids taught me to listen better and gave me the confidence to turn in better school work. I respect authority figures more, and I even volunteer to help with the dishes after dinner! My classmates noticed that I was no longer acting out, and I have more friends now. After Karate for Kids, I now have the confidence to be myself and the best me I can be. <br />My older sister joined Changing Lives' teen program. She found that it helped her gain confidence at school and around her friends. She got into better shape and developed taekwondo skills to help keep her safe. Teens love the friendships that they find at CLMA. We are so lucky to have a top ten rated school here in our neighborhood. <br />When my mother discovered what her children were doing, she joined too! She loves that it keeps her fit and gives her confidence around town. She loves the friends that she has met at Changing Lives, and how great she looks and feels. Adults can take classes focusing on martial arts, or just for fitness and fun.<br />Changing Lives is operated by Master Lee, a seventh degree black belt. They have a top ten rated facility according to the American Taekwondo Association. They win Gold at quot;
Best of the Beachquot;
and quot;
Best of Chesapeakequot;
all the time! They are the best. I am so glad that my mom found Changing Lives.<br />If you want to gain confidence, self respect, do better in school and have fun, you should contact Changing Lives Martial Arts.

My grades are great, my parents don't have problems with me anymore, and I do great with the other kids. You can get these skills, too. Just contact Changing Lives Martial Arts like my mom did, and I think you will love it.<br />Thank you very much,<br />Devon A.<br />
