Kokushi Midewest Judo provided a positive and active learning environment where my son felt free to be himself while also getting a feel for respect and awareness for others and his teacher.  We have recently moved and had to leave the class but would definitely join right back in if we ever moved back and would also highly recommend this class to any child in the area.
