"Dear Sensei: We were so impressed with the level of respect, skill, passion, and care of your students that you showed during the recent black belt test.
Andre was moved to tears at the honoring that he received from you and the other judges. He felt a level of achievement and a witnessing of an essential part of himself that has not been acknowledged anywhere else.   Steve and I want to thank you and the black belt community at your dojo for providing something immeasurable for our son. July 22's test and the receiving of his black belt was one of the best days in Andre's life.
Thank you for all that you do.

Eileen and Steve Miller

“Steve Babcock is an eternal student who has a lot of talent, but has not let it go to his ego.  His talent and knowledge are ever-growing.”

“Babcock's Karate has given my son a way to tap into the best within himself and reach beyond what he thought he could do. We love that his study extends into his community - teaching him to be a responsible citizen and steward of the world.”

Christiane Lambert, Parent

“When my son Patrick tested for his Blackbelt, I called Steve and thanked him for his patience, his kindness, his toughness and basically his caring for my son. Steve showed me his true character when he replied that it was he that should be thanking me. It had been his priveledge to work with Patrick for the past 10 years.”

Patricia Hayes

“I have been sending my boys to Steve Babcocks Karate for over 10 years and have nothing but praise on Steves training and integrity. My family have been involved in the Martial Arts for over 30 years and appreciate what Sensei brings to his students. My boys are tough, well rounded and respectful and this is exactly what I wanted them to get out of their training.”

“Steve Babcock is excellent with kids.  I watched him teach my son and his friends great age-appropriate martial arts and self-defense techniques but teaches the kids in a way that is friendly and warm.  Also...While he helps students increase their skills, he also helps the students understand and respect those skills so that students do not abuse them.

I enjoyed my son's classes so much, that I started taking classes with Steve Babcock about 6 months ago.  I have really enjoyed myself and have seen the difference in my health, weight, and my attitude at work and at home.   I cannot say enough about this great teacher!"
