In addition to karate, Mr. Rogers also teaches a self-defense and cardio kickboxing class for teens and adults.
Mr. Rogers is a certified W.A.K.O kickboxing judge.
"Mr. Rogers' relatable personality and passion for teaching are evident in each interaction he has with his students. He challenges everyone to do their best and see their full potential. He is a knowledgeable leader who has no issues commanding a large class, but he is also gentle enough to engage with the youngest members of the Little Kickers class. He has been a great influence on my son, who is very proud he just achieved his gold belt." -Alissa, Mom to beginner student
