Letters to Sensei Keefe

Thanks for a GREAT experience at the dojo yesterday, and a wonderful, growth full journey in the past year.  The kids have learned to focus their amazing kid energy into something powerful and beautiful, we love your mix of serious mastery focus, keeping them on target and giving their best, and also humor and fun.

It was a year ago July when Johnny started Karate. He has come a long way in a year. And although he seems to have a natural ability, we feel he has done so well because you have done such a great job teaching him.
Thanks, Marion McDonald

By Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition, you have succeeded many times over. Thanks for being such an excellent teacher and a positive influence on Daniel.

Sensei John, you are not only a friend, you are a mentor, thank you.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Tai Chi is too violent
For me to do
I prefer the fighting
With lots of biting
And help from you
I learned a little Kung Fu
Ron Sullivan

Thank You for starting me on my journey through the martial arts. And remember you can't leave until we say goodbye. I'll miss you.
