This letter can’t begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for all you have done for my sons, Michael and Anthony. Spending the last ten years with you has impacted all of our lives greatly. The character traits that you represent are exactly what the world needs. I believe your influence will stay with the boys forever. I know they’ll make better decisions, help others in need, and certainly carry a smile in their hearts because of your warm humor and style. You have given them numerous opportunities to shine as individuals and human beings. We’ll miss the classes, demonstrations, volunteer work and celebrations. Our pictures and videos are treasures.

I feel they are much safer now having the skills of self-defense. The rigorous training has kept them in excellent shape physically and mentally. That focus has carried over to other areas like music, math, sports, etc. Michael and Anthony will always have a place in which they feel “at home” comfortable at AATKD.

With much thanks, admiration, & love,

The Vellas
