The parents views

”My children have been going to Tracy for nearly 15 years and it really is a family. Not only is Tracy terrific with her students she is approachable and kind and you can’t help but embrace the chinto way.".

Jodi Parent
”We were very worried about our son joining karate as he is now being assessed for a possible diagnosis of ADHD/autism.

He can have very challenging behaviour and also brushed off as a naughty child, unfortunately, but since he has joined Chinto he has not only excelled at his training he has been managing his outbursts and behaviour a lot better.

This group has helped him grow in so many ways. It's such a diverse group with even an additional needs coach which is absolutely amazing.”

G (name given but withheld) Parent

”Since starting Karate our son has grown in confidence and it's helped him with his concentration as he is, at the moment, being assessed for ADHD.
