Hempfield Church of Christ Ching Sai Do

This school is very nice, very family friendly! They have a class just for the little ones, a family class, and other specialized classes. The cost will beat any others around, seriously! If the cost of other schools are keeping you from enrolling in a program, you need to check this school out. You aren’t required to purchase a uniform until you are ready to test, ensuring that you like the program before you commit to a purchase of a uniform (how many people purchase a uniform for their children, only to find that, in a month, their child is no longer interested?) As a family, we have dropped the expensive and time-​consuming hockey program, and plan on attending here this fall.

At a Personal Level:
As a father of 5, this school has been a true God send. My middle daughter and I started this journey over 4 years ago as we were looking for an activity that was «her thing». She was 8 at the time. Since then we have continued to progress through the belt ranks together. making this «our thing». During that time, my wife and two other younger children have started, and they all love it. I have had the great pleasure of seeing my kids and wife mature in the martial arts discipline as their confidence levels grow.
At a Program Level:
The program is very well organized with each rank requirement clearly defined. The school facilities and equipment represent a significant investment and is very well done. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient (important). They clearly understand the mechanics behind the technique and have a positive encouraging way of teaching.
Tiny Tigers: The Tiny Tigers program is focused on ages up to approximately 6 and provides a foundation for entry into the Family Class. It is fun and engaging. Our younger children really enjoy karate night.
Family Class:
This is a non-​intimidating atmosphere with a wide spectrum of participant capabilities. Ages range from 65ish to 8. In addition to learning various martial arts techniques, the class provides an incentive for improving your physical aptitude. I personally can attest that my cardio and strength have significantly improved.
