Testimony from Becky Gonzales, mother of two male students and one female student Written on July 24, 2008 "Aikido has been one of the most life-changing things our family has experienced. I have three children in aikido. My son, age 16, is in the adult class, my daughter, age 14, is in the childrens class and the adult class, and my other son, age 10, is in the childrens class. Since they have been in the Aikido School of Greenville, there have been huge differences in their character. My oldest son has grown in self-assurance, something he really needed. My younger son has grown in respect for authority and concentration, two things he really needed. For my daughter, aikido has been a great joy in her life at a time when all the changes and difficulties of junior high could seem overwhelming. When I speak of aikido, I don't just mean the martial art. I also am referring to the people at the aikido school, especially the instructors. I truly thank God for the Aikido School of Greenville."
