I've seen Mr. Lower make men out of many boys including his partner Mr. Coppedge. Confident women out of many girls. My family was fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time and my son was one of those little guys starting a 4 yrs old. Mr. Lower and his team are simply the best at bringing the shy kids to be more confident and outgoing. In addition, he brings those who have difficulty with self discipline and respect to be confident and respectful at the same time. His ability to put discipline, confidence, respect, and fun into lessons is what makes him stand far above most. The ability to see and remember the level that each student is on so that he knows who to push harder and who to just encourage to be their best, is amazing. I don't think he EVER forgets a name. Although my son grew into other things after his black belt, he continues to bring up many memories of dodge ball nights, week long camps and how much fun he had with that part of his family on a daily basis. It's truly a family environment with this group. If you think it's just for kids, it is not. It wasn't long before we noticed the adult classes were just as large as the kids classes and they enjoyed it just as much. Even dodge ball. ?. If you're looking for expertise, commitment, excitement, fun, discipline, motivation or just a place to call home, this is no doubt your place. It's truly a place for everyone, even the parents that just sit and watch their children or loved ones grow day by day..
