My 9 y/o daughter recently joined PBJJC after a 5 year hiatus. She struggles with ADHD, Anxiety, Impulse control and confidence. In just the 2+ months she has been back, her focus, attention, and confidence has grown immensely. She’s speaking up more in school. She’s initiating with peers. Her motivation to want to always try harder is something to be admired. It was hard for her to go back. She left because she advanced to a higher class and got overwhelmed by the class size. She was determined to do it this time , with all new senpais, and new students. From day 1, she has felt welcomed and now looks forward to the next day she gets to go to class. Watching your child find an activity they feel good about themselves is such a dream as a parent. We are so appreciative to all the staff- Senpais Nick (yes, there are 2), Sensei Howard, and Sensei Joe. It takes a village and we are blessed to have PBJJC as part of ours.
