Hampton Roads Karate is absolutely wonderful! Master Donnelly is clear & to the point when teaching, leading, or participating in a class. The children and adults respond positively to all aspects of the training. In my experience with my child, it continues into the school classroom, at home, with peers, with adults in everyday situations. Master Donnelly helps the students set and reach ALL goals, not just athletic/karate goals. He is willing to sit down & talk with any student & parents, which lets everyone know what to expect and what is excpected & how to go about achieving or bettering themselves. You know where you stand! I am impressed by his skills, but sometimes those who are skilled have trouble expressing/explaining to others – NOT So with Master Donnelly & Hampton Roads Karate. His ability to teach and the positive response from the students is even more impressive! It has been a great experience for me as a parent but also for my child!
