Kid-Jitsu Testimonial: Actor, Multiple School Owner
Monday, October 29, 2007

I just want to provide this feedback on the KID-JITSU® Program that I attended last weekend.  All I can say is WOW!  This Certification Program was one of the BEST, and I mean BEST, that I have ever taken.  I was thoroughly impressed that Safety was the #1 Priority in this class and how the Instructors require us to instruct our students with Safety as our #1 Goal. I have NEVER taken any Ground or BJJ Instruction before, and what Larry and Charles showed me was GREAT!!!  I could not give a higher recommendation for this INCREDIBLE program.  My schools will benefit greatly from what I gained in this program.
