Sensei Howard High's Teaching Philosophy: I believe that children be taught completely differently from adults. Though they should know basic self-defense techniques, the more difficult techniques should not be taught to them until the instructor and parents feel that they are mature enough.

I always make certain my students are comfortable with their learning; it keeps their interest high to learn more.
