Our son, Nathaniel, found a passion for Tae Kwon Do from his very first class with Master Berry.  However, Nathaniel has gained so much more than training in a martial art in his five years at R.T. Berry School.  Earning his Black Belt as an eight year old after three years of training was a huge accomplishment and raised his self-confidence tremendously.  Rarely do children set themselves a goal at that young age and actually see it through over so long a time period.  We were so impressed with Master Berry’s message of personal responsibility, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-control, respect for others, physical fitness, good sportsmanship and value for hard work that we encouraged our younger son, Mitchell, to also begin training with Master Berry.  Master Berry is a very positive role model for our sons as they grow to be young men.

Master Berry with Mrs. Best’s inexhaustible support  have made the R.T. Berry School more than a school to learn a martial art and self-defense skills, it is also a place where strong friendships are built and where you feel as if you are part of a large, awesome family.  Thank you both for your hard work and dedication to your students and your school.
