Sep 6, 2016
I trained with Sensei Don Ritter for the better part of a decade, and when it came time for my young children to explore karate, there was no other choice in my mind than to send them to Don. The children’s program at Don Ritter’s Karate and Fitness has always been exemplary. There is always a balance of taking the time to explain things clearly with an assertive approach without being intimidating. Laughter and fun are balanced with discipline; merit-based progression balanced against teaching that difficult things are worth the hard work. The consistent outcome, in both the children that I watched when I was training, and in my own, is that his students learn resiliency, develop self-esteem, become more self-aware, respectful and determined. Don provides a fun, engaging and most importantly positive environment in which his students blossom, and I would not hesitate to recommend his studio for children of any age or ability level. Don is a world-class athlete, coach and teacher who can balance traditional Japanese martial discipline with modern teaching techniques in a way that really has a lasting and positive impact. I dragged my kids to their first lesson, but they dragged me back every class after that. Omar Petralis
