"Chance's confidence in his self around others has changed so much since
joining your Karate program. He is so sure of himself, and this is a great thing
to see in him. I am so proud of him and so thankful to Top Mount Martial Arts."
Doyle & Terry, parents of Chance
"I am so thrilled that Wyatt has found something that he loves! He enjoys being
with Mr. Mann and the other kids, learning all that he can. Although Karate is
a challenge, he keeps plugging along and has done great! Thank you Mr. &
Mrs. Mann"
Sarah, mother of Wyatt
"We are glad to be back after our Summer Baseball schedule! What an
awesome year! Grant has grown so much in self esteem, flexibility, and
self-confidence. Mr. Mann is such an awesome role model to him and all the
kids. It's nice to have people like Mr. Mann in the world for our kids to look
up to."
Julie, mother of Grant and Ashley
"Top Mount has provided both my children with an atmosphere to learn Martial Arts, discipline, and self worth from a
very caring instructor. They have shown such improvements in many areas, thanks to Gary & Sherri Mann."
Chasidy, mother of Logan and Jordan
"We have just recently begun Karate so all of this is quite new to us. I
really like the fact that the program teaches children how to attain both
short and long term goals. I also feel that this program puts several
positive male role models/mentors into the lives of my children, which is
something I feel strongly about. In my opinion, there is a severe
shortage of these in today's world. Not only does this program do all of
this but it does so while encouraging a healthy lifestyle; something else I
feel strongly about and again, something that needs to be promoted
more these days. Caleb needs the discipline and to boost his self
confidence. Sarah needs the challenge and the outlet that Karate
provides for all that nervous energy that's inside her. I think these
goals will be met in time and others attained that we haven't even
begun to realize as of yet. All in all, Top Mount has provided a positive
influence in Sarah and Caleb's lives and we look forward to continuing
with the program."
Beverly, mother of Sarah and Caleb
"I asked Jacob about Top Mount Martial Arts and he replied "I don't like Karate, I LOVE IT!!" I asked him what he liked
about Mr. Mann and he said "Everything!" He really enjoys coming to class and seems eager to learn. He has been
teaching all of us his kata!"
Jennifer, mother of Jacob
"This is a great experience for my child. He has gained so much confidence and has learned respect and made so
many friends. Top Mount Martial Arts' After School Program is really a good thing!"
Tina - Mother of Payton
"Since Greg has started Karate at Top Mount Martial Arts, he has developed more self-confidence, and is becoming a
more responsible young man."
Lee - Father of Greg
"Top Mount Martial Arts has been a positive experience for Jayden. The discipline and care that Mr. Mann instills in
the kids is commendable. We feel its a great environment he provides for children to use their energy while learning
not only a sport but being better individuals."
Todd - Father of Jayden
"Mitchell is great at whatever he sets his mind to.. While he is not great at Martial Arts yet, he has the vision of being
great someday. Watching Mitchell over the past 1 1/2 years at Top Mount has showed me that he truly believes that
with hard work, dedication and a genuine respect of this art he will be great someday. Another thing that Karate has
done for Mitchell is to help him stand apart from his twin sister. It has helped his self-confidence to be better than her
in different areas of Karate. I feel so much pride when we are out somewhere and I hear Mitchell say "You shouldn't
do that because that's not showing respect" or "Mr. Mann wouldn't like that." He's started thinking about how all areas
of his life fit together and carry over into each other. I look forward to continuing to watch him learn about life through
the Martial Arts. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Mann"
Candice - Mother of Mitchell and Megan
"I am honored that Kale gets to train with Mr. Mann. He has learned a great deal at Karate. Thanks for all you do for
the kids."
Fred - Father of Kale
"You always worry when your child joins an activity, that the new will wear off and it will become a chore for everyone -
child and parents. I can truly say that has not happened with Karate at Top Mount. Ngozi is more excited and more
challenged as time goes by. Mr. Mann instills a sense of pride and confidence in each and every student. It is hard
work but Ngozi looks forward to each challenge and each class. Thank you very much."
Melanie - Mother of Ngozi
"Megan has always strived to do her best at anything she does and Karate is no exception. Over the past 1 1/2 years,
she has continued to grow in her love of this art. It amazes me how much martial arts permeates every aspect of a
persons life if they are truly dedicated. For Megan, the area I have seen her grow the most is in her humility. Before
she started Karate at Top Mount, she had some difficulty accepting defeat. In short, she was a sore loser. Things
have changed dramatically in the past year. To see her congratulate a peer she has just lost to makes me just as
proud as seeing her win. I look forward to watching her grow as a person through the Martial Arts in classes at Top
Mount. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Mann"
Candice - Mother of Megan and Mitchell
"Since Peyton has started karate at Top Mount, she has become more confident, respectful, and
demanding of herself. I am very happy with these changes."
Brandi - Mother of Peyton
"I love the After School Karate Program. I can see a huge difference in Spencer. He doesn't seem as shy as he used
to be and seems more outgoing. His self esteem also seems to be boosted."
Jackie - Mother of Spencer
"We feel that Jesse has shown more confidence in himself since joining Top Mount's karate program. Also, he is
proud of his medal! He wears his Top Mount shirt every chance he gets! There are only positive results of his time
with Mr. Mann's class.
Valli - Mother of Jesse
"My son just started the After School Program this year and he loves it, plus he is learning something along with
having fun. I think Gary and his staff are great with kids from my observation and experience. The kids have a real
respect with the teacher and the class."
Tina - Mother of Payton
"Grant has only been in Karate for a few months. His coordination, gross and fine motor skills and self discipline have
all greatly improved. Karate has been an amazing experience for him. Mr. Mann is so understanding of individual
strengths and skill levels. What a great treasure to find!"
Julie - Mother of Grant
"My son has been taking Karate classes from Mr. Mann for only a short time, but I have seen a significant
improvement in his ability to focus, overall discipline, and his interest in being active. He always looks forward to his
classes and I appreciate how good the instructors are with the kids."
Teresa - Mother of Luke
"Kale has gained tremendous confidence and drive since attending Top Mount. He has a stronger will to not give up
on whatever task is at hand. I am so proud of him and his work ethic."
Wendy - Mother of Kale
"My daughter Jordan has learned a lot from Mr. Mann while attending Top Mount Martial Arts. Jordan not only has
learned the proper forms, kicks, blocks, punches, etc., but Mr. Mann teaches the children respect, teamwork, and
self-discipline. I have noticed Jordan has gained a great deal of self-esteem as well. Mr. Mann teaches the children to
be the best they can be & always strives for them to realize how good they can be if they work hard. I love the way he
teaches the children to be so respectful & polite, not only in class, but he reminds them this is important at home and
in school. This gives the children pride in themselves as well."
Chasidy - Mother of Jordan and Logan

"I think enrolling my son in the Top Mount Martial Arts After School Program was one of the best things I could have
done. He loves it and is constantly striving to do better and reach new goals which is a huge life lesson."
Tina - Mother of Payton
"We have done activities before and Logan lost interest almost immediately. Since starting Lil' Dragons, Logan's
manners have improved tremendously. He has even explained to his little sister that it is polite to say "yes sir, no sir";
"yes ma'am, no ma'am". Logan talks about the class daily and looks forward to it every week. I think Top Mount is
crucial to this area! Mr. Mann's positive reinforcement is amazing as well as his involvement with the kids. I have told
EVERYONE I know about Top Mount. Thank you!"
Michelle - Mother of Logan
"Mr. Mann - Thank you for all the things you have taught Amber, Kate & Britnie. They love to go to class & I love to
see the smile on their face when they accomplish a goal. You are outstanding when it comes to working with the kids.
I love the program!"
Kim - Mother of Amber, Kate & Britnie
"Lawson has begun behaving better at home and school. He has found a way to channel his energy and is excited to
come to Martial Arts each day. We are very proud of him!"
Rachel - Mother of Lawson
"I'm seeing positive changes in manners and respect, just after a few days to the program."
Julie - Mother of Rachel & Eldon
"We are in the After School Program. My son is loving it! We have learned a lot. Mr. Mann likes order in his class, so
my son is not only learning Karate, he's learning discipline."
Dusty - Mother of Logan
"Top Mount has helped my son with his self-esteem and self confidence. Before he started the After School Program,
he was shy and now he speaks up. He has also started playing with other kids more and doing better with his
homework. And at home he has learned the meaning of respect. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Mann!"
Jackie - Mother of Spencer
"His grades have improved greatly! His focus is improving and he is paying closer attention to details. His personality
is forming and he is more outgoing and acceptable of others. This is a fantastic program! Keep up the great work!"
