Here are a few comments from the parents
of the children attending Pace's Karate Kids Zone ™.

“My son loves the Little Ninja class. While attending these classes my son has learned self-control, self confidence and discipline. The Pace Institute of Karate has made a positive impact on my family and me. Thank you.”
Kristen Bishop - Parent

"Since he started at Pace Karate, my son now cleans his own room, most of the time without me telling him to do it. His self confidence has skyrocketed and he has learned to fend off bullies in an assertive way, without fighting!”
Laurie LaSorsa - Parent

"We wanted to tell you how important karate is to Steven. Karate has increased his self confidence and independence. It has reinforced our morals and aided in the job of parenting. Steven finished school with a perfect report card."
Julie Moreno - Parent

"When we received Jake's report card we noticed a major improvement in his attitude and organizational skills." "Jake has demonstrated more control over his anger and disappointment.. and thanks to your Super Star program he makes his bed promptly. Completing his homework is no longer an issue."
Paul & Lisa Checkur - Parents

“Since our son started to attend the Pace Institute of Karate, he has developed motivation and task oriented self discipline. He has also substantiated a sense of achievement, while demonstrating the traits of courtesy and respect. Understanding these fundamental concepts will facilitate character development and basic skills needed for future success in all aspects of life.”
Mr. & Mrs. Nelson - Parents

"It is with great pleasure that we take this time to write about our 110% satisfaction with the Pace Institute of Karate. Starting with day one, our children, Elizabeth and Richard Smith, were introduced to a positive, goal setting environment. Over the past few years every member of the staff has shown skill, patience, and understanding in regards to the development of our children."
Jo-Ann & Justin Smith- Parents

"My three sons have been students at Pace Karate ranging over seven years. Each child has developed into a more self confident, self controlled individual. Through the years of teaching from the dedicated staff, my children are able to set personal goals in school, sports, as well as karate. We would like to thank the Pace team for their outstanding level of instruction and concern for our children's safety and development."
Bob & Jamie DePasquale - Parents

"Alec started the program at Pace Institute a very shy, quiet and reserved child. He was timid and insecure. Through the last couple of years I’ve seen great growth in Alec’s personality. Your schools mentorship has instilled and reinforced a discipline to set goals and work hard to achieve them; whatever they may be, (learning a new technique or skill, or learning to work to overcome his dyslexia). The like skills of courtesy, honesty, indomitable spirit, courage and perseverance are utilized every day by Alec, at home, at school with his teachers and peers...We are proud to be participating in your excellent school."
Dianna Bowie - Parent

"I would like to take the opportunity to give my insight into how karate has helped Morgan grow in the other aspects of her life. ..I have watched as Morgan learned not only the physical moves of karate, but to focus her mind and body, which helps her to complete tasks… no matter the difficulty. The discipline Morgan has learned reveals itself in her schoolwork, as she is an excellent and self disciplined student.”
Mark Williamson - Parent


"We are writing to you to express how happy we are with the positive effect that Pace Institute has had on our two daughters. The instructional program at your school has been such a benefit to our daughter Emma. Since she began training at Pace, we have seen an increased level of confidence, self-esteem and self-discipline, in addition to the physical skills that she continues to develop. Our daughter Jill’s coordination and physical endurance has increased dramatically and her improved sportsmanship makes us proud. We are grateful for your outstanding facility and have enjoyed watching Emma and Jill progress under your instruction and the efforts of your commendable staff of instructors."
Cynthia & Adam Dempsey - Parents


"I have witnessed an overall change in Kelley’s attitude toward becoming a goal oriented individual… ...I now see a new Kelly who is becoming educated in a “real world environment” that teaches trying is everything and personal character is greater than physical attributes. I am very pleased with the progress my daughter has made at the Pace Institute, more importantly, I am very proud of her.”
Glenn McLaughlin - Parent

“As a parent I could not be happier with the children’s program at Pace Karate. The level of confidence, knowledge and fun, that both my daughters have experienced to date, from the program cannot be overstated. Most noticeable was my youngest daughter who was always very shy and reserved. All the Sensei's have taken the time to help her overcome her shyness. She just recently sparred for the first time and she could not be more pleased, or, proud of herself! We as parents could not be more proud of both of them, thanks for a great children's program and a fine environment for the kids.”
Nick & Kelly Chiarchiaro - Parents

“I want to thank you for your program and all it has done for Tyler. Of all the decisions we make concerning Tyler, having him join your program has to have been one of the most rewarding for him. It has improved his self confidence, self discipline and control. He is more independent and more focused in school and during social situations. I can’t thank Pace Karate enough for all they have given us in the improvement of Tyler.”
Dean and Stacey Jack, Stockholm, NJ


“Since beginning at Pace Institute of Karate Jordan’s self confidence and self worth has improved dramatically. The self discipline he is gaining is also being routed toward his schoolwork and his chores at home. I can’t say enough good words about the instructors at the school. It’s nice to know that my son has others outside of his family to look up to as a role model."
Al and Stephanie Sales, Glenwood, NJ


“Kevin has been coming to Pace since 2000. Pace has provided a safe and structured environment where Kevin has been able to grow, not just in karate skills but in self confidence and self discipline as well. Probably the largest improvement we have seen is in his ability to concentrate on the task at hand. We have found that participating in karate class actually improves Kevin’s school performance in the area of attention span. We consider Pace a healthy enhancement to our son’s life."
Jeffrey and April Good, Franklin, NJ


“...Wonderful experience. It is really nice to see a program that pushes children to do their individual best. Both of our children have learned a lot from their experiences with Pace and love what they have to offer. We would recommend this program to anyone with children...We see the benefits all the time!”
Mariann and James Dowd, Vernon, NJ


“When there are so many things to say about something, it’s hard to know where to begin. Our family is so lucky to be associated with the Pace Institute of Karate. Ryan has been attending this school since the summer of 2001. We have seen such a remarkable difference in him because of this. His self confidence has improved immensely by being involved in karate and interacting with you and your instructors.

"Pace Institute of Karate is a wonderful place to learn and grow. We’re very happy we found you. Thank you so much."
Jennifer and Bob Sunda, Wantage, NJ


"My son Luke has applied the principles of the Black Belt, as well as each part of student creed, at home and at school. Luke started in the Little Ninjas class as a very active four-year-old and has moved through the ranks to Karate Kid Advanced. 

Now, at age eight, he has more self-control, and is learning to focus on each goal. What a great way to help build children's self-esteem and self-confidence! Thanks to all at Pace Karate! We are looking forward to watching Luke continue to grow and reach his goal of Black Belt.
Brad and Joyce Totaro - Vernon, NJ


“Thomas just started kata and has been practicing every morning before school. I watch his balance, his determination and see his increased persistence. I wonder how they him not only to use his physical power but also his mental power. He has gained amazing focus and discipline in all areas of his life. Shihan and the Sensei’s are wonderful, caring teachers and role models. He has been at Pace for 3 1/2 years and plans on achieving his black belt some day.”
Dionne Ryder, Vernon, NJ


“Danielle started karate at almost four years of age. She is now eight and still enjoys the classes very much. Karate has helped her in many ways. She has built self confidence at an early age.

A few months ago she very much wanted to become a member of the Black Belt Club. We decided to sign her up. This has taught her about commitment. In this age of computers and television, karate also teaches her about physical exercise and it’s importance.

I sincerely believe that attending Pace Institute of Karate has and will effect her attitude about herself and others for the better now and for the rest of her life.”
Elizabeth Boyle, Vernon, NJ


The Pace Institute of Karate is a special place where life lessons are learned...Our son's self confidence has grown as he works his way up the martial art's ladder of success.

These lessons will continue to benefit him through the rest of his life. Thank you Pace for a program that recognizes the "whole child.

Mariann and James Dowd, Vernon, NJ
