TESTIMONIALS

Nothing puts a parent's mind at ease more than knowing their child is in caring hands. Michelle Delarosa, my daughter Alyssa's MBD Karate instructor, is one of those people. Michelle has a wonderful rapport with children. Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching are outstanding. Her passion for teaching is reflected in her patience and respect for her students. Alyssa is now not only able to defend herself, but also has more confidence in herself and has developed leadership skills with the younger students. Thanks Michelle for all that you do!

Muay Thai classes have whipped me into shape and given me back the confidence I used to have as an "invincible" teenager. I am in such better shape training under Sensei Benny that my 18 year old self wouldn't stand a chance against me John O

Sensei Michelle is a remarkable combination of patience and structure in teaching grammar school students karate. She concentrates on the discipline required to perform the craft while still keeping class enjoyable for the kids. I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation. Thanks Michelle. Kurt Rusch

Before I started taking classes, I was a scrawny kid with no confidence. Now, I'm in great shape, found two new sports that I absolutely love (Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu), and have a giant confidence boost. Thanks MBD! Paul K Park Ridge

I have known Michelle as Karate Mom for years, and always intended on enrolling my daughter, but just never got around to it.
I recently saw her speak at the Des Plaines Women's luncheon and was amazed by her. I cannot even describe how passionate she is about awareness and safety and how eye opening the event was.
I am definitely going to enroll both my girls at MBD!

It is vital that everyone empower their kids to be able to handle bad situations. You took them to swim lessons so they could learn to swim like a fish. Now is the time to teach them what to do if a Shark comes around.. MBD kids are not victims John j. John O

I would recommend "Karate Mom" to all parents looking for a good martial arts program. I believe what makes Michelle so good at what she does stems from her own personal high ranking in the art, loads of creativity, discipline and that she is also a mother herself. She brings a wealth of experience to her classes and understands what makes kids tick and how to motivate them.
