When looking for a karate school three years ago for my daughter we looked at several schools in the Philadelphia and outlying suburbs for a school that would meet our standards of a true martial arts establishment. We stumbled upon CounterStrike Kenpo Karate completely by accident but once we had looked at the school we knew right then and there this was the school for our daughter. The curriculum is hands on which better prepares the students for real life situations. My husband and daughter have been studying for the past three years and were so dedicated that they inspired me to make a commitment to studying the art. I have been practicing now for the past five and a half months and in that time I have become better fit both physically and mentally and am confident that even with only a few months of training behind me I can defend myself if the situation ever did arise. Thanks to Sensei David Pantano and his instructors for their commitment to the martial arts and most importantly to their students. JMC
