Our
little Molly started her experience at The EDGE with the
child care program when she was four. We were bowled over with
the level of educational programs that were offered and we
watched our shy little girl begin to open up a bit and obtain
a first rate preschool education at this child care facility.
Since her shyness was still sticking with her, we decided to
go to The EDGE's martial arts Open House in January 2011 and
have our little Mo check things out. WE thought that having
her join a sport might be good for her and help her open up a
bit. Of course, the price point certainly helped - if your
child is enrolled full time in The EDGE's child care program,
he/she can join their Little Ninjas martial arts program at
no cost, so we figured there was nothing to lose! Molly
thought it looked like fun so the next we she went. It took
her a few weeks to finally join in with the rest of the kids
but Miss Jenn makes things super
fun!
It is now 11 months later, and I am proud to say that Miss
Molly has BLOSSOMED! She moved up from Little Ninjas early
and joined the Super Kids class in June and took to it like a
duck takes to water. She has moved up to a yellow belt and is
doing wonderfully. The shyness still rears its ugly head once
in a great while, but where she once would not even join in
for warm ups and games, she is fully participating in classes
and is excelling!
As parents, my husband and I both believe that the program
that Sensei Scott has built is one of the premier youth
programs in Bradford County. We now have two children
participating and hope to have our third here soon!

What
can I say about the Edge Fitness and its "Super
Kids" karate class. In the past
12 months, Jillian has gone from a shy 6-year old, to a
7-year old, living for Karate demos, having self confidence,
and wanting to achieve for herself and her Sensei. This is
the best program for any child.
With most sincere
appreciation,
Kris Larnard and George Middaugh

Dear
Sensei and Miss Jenn,
Thank you for your patience and guidance with Brennan over
the years as he took
karate. Although he did not reach excellence in karate by
earning his black belt he
did reap benefits from the karate program. When Brennan began
lessons ins the fifth
grade he was content to remain in the background and would
not participate in many
activities. At graduation this year he volunteered to be one
of the speakers! He also
planned and spoke at the national honor society induction
program this year at NEB.
Brennan did a great job at both of these endeavors. I
attribute his experience at karate
for his overcoming the reluctance to be in front of a group.
Thank you again for the karate experience at the EDGE!

Dear Sensei Scott and The Edge Staff,
Logan Gerrity’s birthday party was an absolute
success. Everybody had a ball. Sensei Sklyer, Sensei Steve and Chris did an
excellent job keeping the kids motivated and entertained
while having fun. We have had quite a few kids’ parties
and this one, by far, was the best. The kids really
enjoyed breaking the boards and learning the basics of
karate. The obstacle course that Skyler,
Steve and Chris arranged was a lot of fun for everyone.
The kids also enjoyed all the games. Logan was made
black belt for the day, and he really enjoyed wearing that
black belt. He was just beaming.
As
parents it was great to sit back and enjoy watching the
birthday party. Skyler, Steve
and Chris did all the work, invitations, set up of the party,
pizza, drinks, snacks and even the clean up. We had
time to take pictures and video tape the whole party.
The staff at The Edge did all the entertainment, and we have
to say they did a fantastic job.
If you
want to sit back and watch your child have a great party, we
would recommend that you contact The Edge. The Edge
also gave us a beautiful framed picture of Logan’s special
day. What a nice remembrance of a fantastic birthday
party.
Very
Happy Parents
Patrick
and Terri Gerrity

Hello
Sensei,
I just
wanted to thank you for the great job that you and the other
Sensei's have done with Phillip. He has changed so much in
the past three years, from a quiet, shy boy who wouldn't even
play with other kids to an outspoken young man who wants to
try and know everything he’s unsure about. And his father and
I owe it all to you. Here is the picture of you and Phillip
today (silver belt award). Thank you all,
Mr.
& Mrs. Sherman
