Sensei Gabriel is incredibly kind yet firm with the children.
My 6 year old son has struggled for a long time with confidence issues as well as anxiety, and it is incredible to see the difference in him.
Sensei is so patient with the children while also being very encouraging.

Karate is an art form which was developed in Okinawa in the 17th century.
Japan forcibly occupied the island of Okinawa in 1609 and confiscated all weapons.
Kara means empty and te means hand, and Do means the way of.
So when you put this all together you have Karate-Do which means the way of the empty hand.
Empty hand refers to the fact that the early practitioners of karate did not carry or use weapons because they were taken away which meant that through very intense training their bodies became weapons.
