“I have been coming to DBBA with my son for almost 6 months and we are very happy. My son has been picked up on at school because of his size and his self-esteem was very affected. Wayne is a great teacher and role model, he teaches children discipline and rules of good sportsmanship. He is strict but fair. His classes can be sometimes challenging but he always tries to make them fun and enjoyable for children. It is great to watch my son and all children who come on regular basis improving. I have definitely seen an improvement in his confidence which has been noticed at school as well. He enjoys grading sessions (happening every 2-3 months) when he can achieve a different belt and listen to a feedback on his progress. Soby is as well always very friendly and helpful. She always explains everything about payments and fees in advance and all dealings are transparent. However, if your child has challenges with discipline, good behavior and manners, they may struggle.”
