Student Testimonials

Since approaching Arakan to see if it was possible if I could start my 4 year old son Levi with private lessons and potentially train in with him, we were met with Anthony, instantly he instilled values and strong characteristics in my son such as small things like a firm hand shake and to make eye contact with the persons hand you are shaking. Throughout the sessions he incorporates myself training in with Levi making it fun and relating his teachings to Levi’s day to day life. Anthony shows high Levi’s of patience dealing with a young boy like Levi who can get side tracked from time to time, and manages to get his focus back to where it needs to be. He has shown a huge amount of growth in his personal development, coordination and most importantly his confidence. I’d like to thank Anthony for his continued help and support with myself and Levi.
