Leaders for Life Martial Arts Karate For Kids & Self Defense Classes in Champaign IL, Houston & League City TX

I would like to sincerely thank you all for helping me become who I am today.  Your school has taught me key elements of leadership, such as integrity, respect, and humility.  I have taken these lessons and applied them to my everyday life...especially in Boy Scouts.  Since my time at your school, I have gotten my Eagle Scout and receive the Vigil Honor, scouting's highest honor.  I have also been elected the Lodge Chief by my peers through scouting and I believe I can make a difference in many Scout's lives.  I would not have been able to reach these places in my life without the help of the Leaders for Life program... and without the guidance and teaching that you all so kindly gave me.

My son started a little over two years ago.  He is now a recommended second degree black belt.  This school has been the best thing for him. He is deaf with a hearing aide and cochlear implant.  He has difficulty understanding and teachers at school can be uncaring and not helpful, but at Leaders for Life everyone goes out of their way to make sure he understands and feels a part of the Leader's for Life family.  After watching him for six months I decided to join the Leader's for Life family as well. You are never too old to start, if I can do it anyone can!!

I would highly recommend Leaders for Life Martial Arts.  I enrolled my three children in the Leadership program because it gave each one something that they needed.  For my son it was confidence building, my daughter building muscle strength and for my other daughter somewhere to put her plentiful energy.  This program will give your children confidence, physical strength and flexibility and teach them the values that you as parents want them to have for life.  This is not just something for childhood, your children will carry the lessons they learn here with them throughout their lives.  I was so affected by the energy and positive attitude of Mr. & Mrs. Ravedutti that I actually joined myself.  I can tell you that while I feel tired and maybe even a little sore after class, I also feel energized and ready to take on the world.

I feel privileged to have Mr. Rodriguez as the instructor who teaches my kids. He has won several world championships, the most recent being in 2015. My kids enjoy coming to the class and I see a lot of positive changes in them. I would definitely recommend everyone (kids, youth or elders) to come and learn martial arts from Mr. Rodriguez at Leaders For Life.

My son and I have been attending classes for a year now. Mr. and Mrs. Master have been amazing and we have felt like part of the family since day 1.  All of the instructors are not only great with students of all ages but are also very good role models.  The skills and life lessons they teach are priceless in my opinion.  We actually just enrolled in the Leadership program and are very excited to continue our journey in martial arts with Leaders for Life.

Leaders for Life creates an outstanding environment for people of all ages. The secret to success seems to be a truly caring and innovative approach to developing important life skills and discipline that promotes positive energy. This energy is very contagious at Leaders for Life - not only do the students glow, it spreads among family and friends.

Mrs. Newberry,  Thank you very much for presenting to our class. We enjoyed the lesson about bully prevention and we liked working on basic martial arts moves. Students loved the positive energy you brought to the classroom. We hope that you can come visit again in a few months. Thanks again!  

An absolute blessing for my son. He loves the instructors! The atmosphere is very personal and family like. Thank you for all the awesome instruction and love!
