Good evening, Sir,

I'd like to take a moment to send you a testimonial of a totally different nature. Most people write about how a particular person or program benefits them personally and for me, that goes without saying. My experience with you, Sir and all the other students affiliated with the school has had a tremendous effect on my life, to say the least. However, this testimonial is not about me personally but, about my observations of many of the children in your program.

Discipline, respect, role models, fun, family!  These are just a few words to describe the R.T. Berry School, Master Berry and Mrs. Best.  We have never been to a place of training where families as well as the students were treated with such care and respect.  Master Berry and Mrs. Best know everyone's names.  As you watch the students train, each child is called by name and many even have nick names that Master Berry has personally given them.   He takes time during special events to get to know the children and their families and he remembers these times to make each person feel special.  Taylor has learned how to set goals and work hard to achieve them.  She has become such a confident young woman and has learned to face her fears and conquer them.  We are very thankful to the R.T.

For us the RT Berry School of Tae KWon Do is not just another martial arts school.  It has become a second family.  When I signed my 4 year old son up at the RT Berry School of Tae Kwon Do I thought it would be "fun" for him to learn some martial arts.  What I have learned since is  this is not just a school where they learn about martial arts, this is a school where they learn about LIFE!  As parents we work hard everyday to teach our kids the importance of being confident, honest, respectful, and responsible people.  This is exactly what the RT Berry School teaches everyday through the art of Tae Kwon Do.  Master Berry is unconditionally dedicated to helping build kids as well as adults into positive people and role models.  He has taught our son to set goals for himself and believe that with hard work and dedication he can achieve them.  He has helped us teach him that in a world full of competitive sports, "champions" aren't always the one's that come home with the trophy.  He teaches that even at a young age, being responsible for yourself and your actions can be fun and rewarding!  Since my son's  training began my other two children (1 and 4 yrs old)have also started training.  Even at their young ages they are gaining the benefits that the RT Berry School has to offer!  I believe that one of the most unique aspects of the school that you will not find anywhere else is the support from all the other families.  What an awesome experience it is to be surrounded by families who strive to raise their kids with the same positive values as your own. 

"I LOVE this school.  Master Berry is fantastic with the children.  He and Mrs. Best are an extension to the family in guiding and teaching our son, Luke, the values we believe in.  This program has been great for our son's confidence and self esteem."

Three years ago, I was 38 years old, with two kids, and working full-time when I began my journey with Master Berry.  I was searching for something that was challenging, both physically and mentally.  What I found was a place that taught/modeled discipline, integrity, and excellence in a way that I had never experienced before.  For me, training has intertwined mind, body and soul; allowing me the opportunity to be the best I can be in every role I play.   Master Berry's passion and commitment to his students is evident.  There is no one (child or adult) who would not benefit from

I have been training with Master Berry for four years now. Training under Master Berry has changed my life. I carry what I have learned from Master Berry into every aspect of my life. I work with children at a school. Master Berry has taught me how to be a caring, confident leader to them by using positive reinforcement to create a positive learning environment.

<>In order to be a leader you must learn to follow a great leader. Master Berry is a great leader who leads his students by example. Master Berry inspires me to be the best I can be in everything that I do. He has taught me how to have a positive outlook on life by looking at life, the good and the bad, as an opportunity to learn and grow stronger. He has taught me to always set new and fresh goals, not only in Tae Kwon Do but in life.

We love the growth we've seen in our son!  Nathan started training at the R.T. Berry school over two years ago, and we've seen him grow in so many ways.  Tae Kwon Do is not just something you do at class and then forget about when you go home.  Besides the physical skills he's learned, he's been taught that being respectful and working hard are important no matter where you are!  He has learned to be be more respectful to us and to his teachers, as well as how important it is to help out at home.  We love the life lessons he is learning!  Master Berry accomplishes all this with a smile on his face, always remembering everyone's name, and motivating the kids to do their very best.   I look forward to Nathan's journey and can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Training Tae Kwon Do together at the R. T. Berry School has been an AWEOME journey.  We have grown much closer throughout our training and have learned a great deal about each other during the process.  The discipline we have learned here now guides us in our every day lives.  Seeing the changes in the children and adults during their training is simply amazing.  Shy kids become self confident and turn into leaders under Master Berry's guidance and discipline.  Setting the bar ever higher challenges all students to become the best they possibly can.  We could never thank Master Berry enough for his dedication, enthusiasm and guidance!!

The best advise that I could ever offer anyone is to train Tae Kwon Do with Master Berry.  Myself and my 2 boys have been training with Master Berry since May 14, 2001, and it truly has been a life altering experience, for all of us.  My children have grown into strong young men under the leadership of Master Berry and they do stand out in a crowd.  They are the ones that answer yes sir and yes ma'am to their elders.  They are the ones that hold the door open.  They are the ones that are always willing to help with just about anything.  They are the ones not whining or complaining. More importantly, they have learned to be responsible and accountable for their actions and to make good decisions about life.  As a parent I have not worried about my kids making a bad decision, ever.  I owe this to Tae Kwon Do and more importantly to Master Berry.
