The Koi program is taught with the “Sensei Says: It’s all about character,” the best system of martial arts instruction for children today. This system of martial arts was developed by Master Sensei Steve Gancherov, 1994 World Shotokan Karate Champion.

This program teaches the young children developing strong character will lead to their success. "Natural leaders need the opportunities and challenges to develop their potential greatness." Sensei Says traditional Karate and Aikido program challenges students to succeed and develops the hidden greatness every human is born with.

Sensei Steve guarantees if your child attends class consistently and you learn and use the words of character system, your child's behavior will improve. See testimonials from other parents and community leaders for examples.

The Koi program teaches very young children the importance of demonstrating non-
violence, good listening, learning positive use of character words, and learning of the meaning of these character words in a fun and creative way. The students are physically challenged with an obstacle course and Sensei Says traditional Karate & Aikido techniques. Basic stances and blocks are introduced, and use of foam nun-chucks and hitting & kicking shields are taught in a non-competitive environment.

Children in the Koi program are never encouraged or taught offensive self-defense techniques against other children.Sensei Says martial art program uses the teaching and philosophies by Morihei Ueshiba, Gichin Funakoshi and Hidetaka Nishiyama.
