"When my boys were struggling with bullying and self-control, we wanted a dojo with an outstanding reputation, hands down, Yaeger's Self Defense America. My shy and passive son Hunter has gained confidence and the ability to teach others, and my youngest son Cash, who said he wanted to be a fighter since kindergarten, has learned self-control and developed his skills. Challenging yourself, achieving goals, and making friendships are the top three reasons martial arts became such a connection for our family. We are forever made better." -Nick Glaser
When I came to America, I wanted to have some physical activity so I don’t just sit at home. My host dad went to this Dojo, so he asked me if I wanted to go there too. I thought that was a great idea, because I also wanted to learn to defend myself just in case.
Right from the start I was welcomed by everyone. Master Yaeger is a really great teacher. And I loved the whole community. Karate gave me something to be a part of outside of school and it really elevated my experience.
In less than a year I have learned so many valuable things. And I am very grateful to have been able to be a part of this dojo.
