“Couldn’t be more happy to have my son go to Coach Deckers Mat Monkey class! It’s the perfect Intro to karate. He teaches independence and respect. My 5 year old has learned so much!” — Allie Leber

“We have truly enjoyed the Mat Monkeys Judo class for our son. Coach Decker is awesome and we can tell he truly cares about his students. Our son started at age 4 and has grown a lot in terms of the skills in the class but more importantly being respectful to leaders, listening, participating with other students, and trying new things. We just finished our first year of class and hope to continue.” — Nicole Shaha
