Black Belt Story
My name is Sydney Bloom and this Saturday I am taking my black belt test. I started karate with Kraus Karate Academy on 8/16/2018 when I was just 4 years old and I have been with him ever since. It's been a lot of hard work but the reward is worth it, I have already completed my Ninja class, which I was really proud of. It has been a lot of practices and hard work, but Mr Kraus has been there the whole way, even offering private lessons to help me feel more comfortable with test prep. I look forward to getting my Junior blackbelt and continuing using karate lessons with Kraus Karate Academy. ASAH!
Black Belt Story
Hello, my name is William O’Brien. This Saturday I will be testing for my black belt at Kraus Karate. My journey with karate started four years ago. I am nine years old now. My mom signed me up after my brother was born to help me get my energy out and learn how to control myself. I kept getting a little wild at school. I have learned and achieved so many things with the help of karate. For example, karate has improved my confidence, coordination, and balance. When I first started, I couldn’t even jump rope. Now I can jump rope, balance myself, do push-ups and lift my mom up! I have met some great friends and people through the sport. There hasn’t been a single lesson I have learned through karate that I haven’t liked. Through karate, I was taught how to accept criticism and self-reflect. I gained the skill of how to set goals and achieve them. This is something I did not learn in school. It has helped me achieve other goals in my life and school. This year I won student of the month for the first time and was so proud of myself! Karate gave me patience, as a result I was able to grow out my hair for two years. and donate it to cancer. Lastly and one of the most important aspects of my karate group, I have a great instructor! Mr. Kraus has taught so much about myself and karate. Karate is a great time and has helped shape me into the person I am today!
Black Belt Story
My name is Nate and I started with Mr. Kraus when I was 8. I was nervous but excited to learn karate. It helped me focus and I learned a lot of different techniques. I enjoyed class and made a lot of friends. Now I'm testing for my senior blackbelt and I'm grateful to have Mr. Kraus as a guide. My advice for anyone considering karate is to go for it, be consistent and don't give up. It could be hard at first, and yet always in the end, it pays off. I have never regretted joining Mr. Kraus and I hope that you feel the same if you decide to join!

Mr. Kraus and the Crew at Kraus Karate Academy of Hainesport are top notch. The dedication to my son's 4-5 year old class is 1st class. The children respect them and they understand what is being asked if them and in turnthey follow the instructions perfectly. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the progress our son Evan has made over the last 1.5 years! His focus and listening skills have increased substantially. Thank you!

My son loves it. Everyone helped mold him into the wonderful young man he is today. He trained here for 7 years and earned his black belt. Now he helps Master Kraus, and passes along the dedication to being the best one can be!

My 4 year old and I love this school! The instructors are perfect for instructing his age group in Ninja Sharks and my son always gets excited to go. Master Kraus is awesome and very welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their child into Karate. The studio is always clean and neatly organized as well. They do a lot more than just learn self defense, they learn all aspects of being self disciplined and honor.

When I started karate I was only 3. I was very shy then but karate helped me speak in public. Since then I have been able to build up my confidence and do things I never thought I could. I have even joined the demo team. Furthermore, I have been going to karate for 9 years and hope to go much longer. In the end without karate I wouldn’t be the person I am.

My name is McKenzie. When I first started karate I was 6, and it wasn't that hard. But as I advanced, it got harder and I had to remember more, and it got more difficult. Then I started using a Black Belt Responsibility form and it helped me remember and keep track of everything. I practiced push-ups and sit-ups at home to build my muscles so it would be easier, and to prepare for my junior black belt test. I am about to take my black belt pre test, and I hope to succeed.
