“When we first signed Courtney up for karate, we did it because we thought it was important that she learn to defend herself. Well, she can defend her self now, but it's given her so much more than that. It's helped her self-confidence, her self-discipline, her listening skills. I'd recommend it to any parents who are thinking about signing their children up for a class.”
“We were at an open house at John Glenn High School and they had a putting green set up. The golf coach saw her and said, 'Sign her up.' He said she has a natural swing.”
“Courtney's strongest move is probably the front kick. She could knock a six-foot person down with one with no problem. But because of the restraint they're taught, she'd never use the move unless it was absolutely necessary.”
