Martial arts prepares children for life, giving them self-confidence and self-defense skills. Pediatricians recommend it to help channel aggression and to teach discipline. Master Agon's Perfect Balance Martial Arts is a family-run studio with 3 locations: Kendall, South Miami and Doral. Their Karate For Kids program places students into classes led by at least 2 instructors based upon their age and skill level. A twice-weekly commitment is required; their program integrates with schoolwork and home study to provide greater concentration. Their South Miami studio is gorgeous- well ventilated, full of natural light and exceptionally clean (it does not smell like feet!). The instructors take pride in getting to know your children to create a program for them that will play to their strengths and support their growth in other areas. Master Agon, a black belt since 1986, has got a lot of experience. Karate is not just for kids... grownups can get in shape with intense, 30 minute personal sessions. It is great way to relieve stress and tension and gives you practical experience to protect yourself. South Miami has valet parking in the back (just pull into the valet lot) and Kendall has ample free parking in the lot.
