Testimonials

"After a long search for an anti-bullying presentation that would engage our students while also teaching them important skills, we at Tri-Valley Elementary were thrilled to hear that Daniel and his team at Pandas Karate would work with us.


Simply put, the kids LOVED the show. Our students, ranging from kindergarten to sixth grade, were fully engaged in his presentation and appeared to enjoy every minute of it. In fact, I had students come to me afterwards saying that this was the best assembly they've ever had and that they hope he comes back next year! 


Master Daniel and his team were great partners with an excellent anti-bullying message. We recommend Pandas Karate wholeheartedly and look forward to the possibility of working with him again in the future."

"Mr. Daniel's Sticks and Stones show was an awesome assembly for our students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. He covered all four types of bullying (verbal, physical, emotional, and cyber) and tailored the show for both our elementary and middle school students.


Students loved the karate techniques and his personal stories. We highly recommend his assembly and appreciated that he traveled from Maryland to visit us in New Jersey."
