We have two children training at The American Self Defense club for the last five years. I can?t say enough about them, Renchi Ralph Metz?s patience and respect for my kids is what I like the most. We have been to other Karate schools and the instructors were rough and demanding while their egos were over the top. Renchi Metz never yells and encourages all students, adults or children to do their best. Also they are less formal and more interested in teaching a quick solution to a self defense solution in real world possible threat. I now have two confident children with an eye on a bright future. My son joined the NJ National Guard and my daughter is well on her way to face a future full of possibilities. Thank you American Self Defense Club
