Shawn Wright - 4-6 Program - Allegany NY
Lydia's confidence has
skyrocketed! There was a huge difference in her belt tests. It
brought tears to my eyes to see her so sure of herself. She has begun to
come out of her shell and not be so shy. Karate has been one of the best
decisions we have made for Lydia. With the knowledge of Martial Arts she
will become a confident, proud, independent young lady.

Our son is very proud to be a member
of Bruyer’s Martial Arts and that he is learning Karate. We are pleased
to see positive changes in his overall attitude and level of respect for
himself and others. It often helps to mention “the black belt attitude” in
order to elicit expected behaviors. We love the “Random Acts of Kindness”
program, in addition to the “academic excellence” system. Cory enjoys
receiving black stripes on his belt for his positive efforts. This has
definitely been a worthwhile program.

To many children are allowed to quit
something when they don’t feel like going anymore. Those same kids will
most likely be job hoppers and have marriage problems because they just give up
when the going gets tough. Yes its only Karate class but when you let
them give up, you set the stage for life.
Your classes have taught valuable
life lessons, the self-discipline to complete goals. Self-confidence
knowing your achievements are truly yours, the rewards from your classes will
benefit youth for a lifetime.

Our son, Eric, has been in the
Bruyer’s Martial Arts program since he was six. Karate has been a
mainstay in Eric’s life ever since. As a young boy, Eric learned balance
and focus. He learned to listen and respect leadership. He learned
sequence and order, through the katas, waza, and other required movement/skills.
We believe that all children grow
and learn differently. Eric has strengths and weaknesses, just as we all
do. The martial arts program accepted him as he was, and allowed him to
build upon his strengths and attack his weaknesses from a different
perspective.
Now that he is older, Eric is more
motivated to learn and grow in his skills. He is proud of his growth and
feels empowered. He is more confident in his abilities, and sees himself
as a winner…able to stay in the game.
We support him in his karate
mission…to earn a black belt. We can’t imagine Eric’s life without
karate. He is proud of his achievement/rank and has a much stronger sense
of self. Children aren’t cut out to excel in every sport. Karate
allows Eric to look at himself as an individual – not relying on anyone to be
included on his level of success. He has to earn every stripe by
following your leadership and program requirements. Eric does and will
continue to play team sports, but will always have the drive to continue
growing in karate.
Thank you for the energy, effort,
and support that you have provided our son. With much appreciation.

fantastic confidence booster.

This has helped Teagin with focus. He has been able to concentrate better on his
schoolwork. It also has helped him
with meeting other children his own age and has been great for
socialization. He just moved up
into the traditional class and we are hoping he starts the self-defense and
increases his confidence in himself. He has enjoyed this class and hopefully will succeed in life with having
this under his belt.

can control myself when I get angry.
Grant Fox 7-9 year old program (Brown belt) Olean NY
Joshuah has grown a lot in the past year. A big thanks to this Karate school. He
has grown within himself for example: Focus, self-confidence, self-control and self-esteem. He has always been respectful but with
authority figures it was very hard for him to have good eye contact. Now! What
a change! He stands tall and has
great eye contact. He does great
in school. He likes to bring in
his good grades and receive stripes. I have been able to use the stripe system at home. Example: chores, every day pick up and
taking care of his belongings. At
the same time he is having a lot of fun and learning good fitness habits. Thanks to all!
Corinne Lewis Children’s program Portville NY
Mr. Bruyer:
I just wanted to write you a quick note to say thanks to you
and your Wife. Grace and Jonah

such good examples for the children when it is so hard to find role models in
today’s world. Thank you!

Aubrey began karate in September and she has come a long
ways in that short time. She looks forward to attending class as she strives
for the next level belt. She has a
more positive attitude and helps more around the house to receive more stripes
on her belt. It really gives her a
sense of encouragement, confidence and self-improvement.
Brittani Tobola Children’s program Olean NY
Karate has brought out the confidence in our Son we always
knew was there. It has helped him to not be afraid to stand up for himself when
kids try to bully him simply because he is smaller than they are. He has learned that routine and
continuing towards a goal makes him a better person and not just in
Karate. What he is learning in
Karate has spilled over into his school studies, home life and how he treats
other people.
Bill and Michelle Brundage. Children’s program Portville NY

From my experience with Bruyer’s Martial Arts so far, I have
gained much knowledge of self-defense in just a short period of time. I feel I have gained more
confidence in my school and everyday life. My grades have improved as well as my fitness and stress
level.
I would recommend Bruyer’s Martial Arts.
Sarah Barlett Adult program Olean NY
My son has enjoys the classes at Bruyer’s Martial Arts. He has been a student for 3 years and is
now a green belt. He is an only
child, therefore learning to meet and get along with other children and learn
the important things in life, to listen, respect and grow. This has been an excellent learning
tool in his life and also has helped us at home. Thank you and your staff for the opportunity that you offer.
Carl Snyder 7-9 year old program Olean NY
Since Indiana has been participating in Karate, his
confidence has improved and he doesn’t feel threatened by bullies in
schools. Karate is also helping
him set goals and work at reaching those goals. Fourth grade has been a challenge but Karate gives him a
break where he can focus on his katas and have a little fun with the games at
the end of class. Karate will
continue to be an excellent outlet for him.
Michelle Brundage 7-9 year old program Olean NY
This program is the best thing or program for my child. He is learning to roll with the punches
rather than thinking he has to be perfect at everything. He absolutely loves this program and
the rewards, as do we. He is
noticing his surroundings more rather than just around him. We were at Walmart and an elderly woman
was struggling to get 2 carts apart and he went right over to help her and when
both of them couldn’t get them apart, he then went and got a cart that was
operational. How awesome is that? His school grades are great. We can’t say enough about how great
this program is.
Meagan Lawton 7-9 year old program Olean NY
The Martial Arts program at Bruyer’s has helped me stay in
good shape while at the same time you can have fun and also accomplish becoming
a Black belt. It is also very good
for self-defense and self-discipline. I would recommend that anyone who likes to have fun join this
program. And it’s a good way to
relieve stress.
Patrick Sheehy Adult program Wellsville NY
This is What Black Belt means to me:
As a beginner, trying to learn everything in order to rank was
important. As an intermediate
student, trying to make the information and movements better, was my
focus. As a black belt, trying to
be my best in everything I do whether if inside or outside the dojo is my
goal. Black Belt is a way of
life. Representing myself, my
school and Mr. Bruyer the best way possible, has been the key to my journey.
Black belt - Melissa McAndrew-Ivanich
My son has been attending Bruyer’s Martial Arts for almost 2
years. I am a single mom and it’s
hard to be the good and bad parent all the time. I believe by Gavin being taught and reinforced by the dojo
his classes, manners and ability to respect people has personally helped both
of us! Gavin understands how
important it is to treat others how you want to be treated now. He respects the
dojo and the instructors and loves coming to class because it is also fun for
him. I think with the
incorporation of fun along with learning always makes life better! Thanks Again!
Kristie Kulp Children’s program Olean NY
This is what Black Belt means to me:
A long-tern goal achieved. It’s an example that if you set your heart and mind to an objective with
the right determination anything is possible. Nothing is easy, so add some endurance and nothing will
stand in your way.
Black belt- Steven Young
Karate has helped Zach improve his attention span and also has
really worked on his concentration and confidence. I am so glad that he is involved with something so fun but
it is also a learning experience. Thank you!
Kimberly Kruse Children’s program Olean NY
In the short time Arianna has been in Karate I’ve noticed a change
in her behavior. Her arguments
with her siblings have lessened and her attitude towards other has improved. She is learning about respect and about
how things she says or does affects her and those around her. She is starting to believe in herself,
she knows now that she can do things with hard work and practice and is proud
when she accomplishes it.
Tony/Michelle Wolfer Children’s program Franklinville NY
Already in the month and a half Zack has been taking Karate I have
noticed a difference. He has more
focus when it comes time to do his homework. He looks forward to class and can’t wait to show us all the
new things he learned that day. Arguments with his sisters happen a lot less often because he now is
learning respect for them as well as himself. I look forward to more accomplishments that I know he’ll
make.
Tony/Michelle Wolfer Children’s program Franklinville NY
I believe that this class has made a great improvement in my child
(Austin.) Self-esteem and
confidence. He really enjoys
coming and looks forward to the nights when he has class. Thank you Very much.
William Vennard Children’s program Little Genesee NY
Karate has truly been a positive experience for our daughter in all
the expected ways; self esteem, self-discipline, respect for self and others
and physical fitness. But, the
pleasant surprise has been the strengthening of the parent/child relationship. We believe this is directly connected to
the “Acts of Kindness” process. In
focusing on her positive behavior we are seeing less and less negative
behavior. She loves the praise and
is excited when she receives stripes on her belt. She sincerely wants to be a better person.
Melissa and Greg Cole Children’s program
This is What Black Belt means to me:
A black belt isn’t just something I wear, it means so much
more. So much time and effort I’ve
put I, so many friends; almost family, I’ve made over the years. Karate has helped with so many things,
getting in shape, setting goals and learning how to work with people in a
positive way. I don’t know where
I’d be if it wasn’t for Karate!
Black belt- Porsche Black
This is What Black Belt means to me:
Having a black belt means I have completed the requirements but
still going to improve and I will master the black belt and achieve my red
belt.
Black belt- Caden Kriner
Caden’s level of respect has risen since being in your program. Not only the respect of others but also
how he respects himself. It is
self-esteem, confidence and focus when he applies himself to a task and has
risen greatly.
Steve Kriner Children’s program Eldred

In this world of “me”, we are glad that we enrolled Collin in a

to come naturally now. Thanks.
Ken McMurray Children’s program Franklinville NY
We believe that since enrolling Luke last September he has
been able to focus better than prior to Karate. He enjoys the physical activity aspect of the class and
looks forward each class to the new tasks he is challenged with. We look forward to watching him learn
and develop as each belt progresses.
Meghan Petruzzi 4-6 year old program Olean NY
As Parents, we like to read the handouts in the mail folder, most
recently the info about Shotokan Karate and Master Funakoshi. We think the parent handbook ages 4-6,
is very valuable, especially with info regarding child development and
background about children at this age.
We feel your program is definitely making a positive difference in
Daniel. His motivation,
confidence, respect, listening skills are evident. He exhibits enthusiasm towards class all the
time! We are pleased with the
numerous incentives for a job well done.
Also, we feel the employees at BMA maintain professionalism with
sincere kind regard to us when we have questions. I'm impressed with how smoothly the business runs regarding
mail, payment booklets, timeliness, phone calls and ongoing communications with
Parents. Also: We like the
connections to home, school, etc. through lessons.
We are grateful Daniel can be involved in your
program!
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Bruyer and Staff!
Most Sincerely,

Nadine Nudd (Mother) - 7-9 Year Old Program - Cuba NY
Black belt means being
courteous and respectful whil still being able to stand your ground. It teaches us that winning is more accurately
measure by helping someone up, rather than knocking them down. A true Black belt will be respected more for
their character than for the number of fights they win or boards they
break. A Black Belt is confident, yet
aware they are not invincible. Humble
yet capable.
James Butcher (Black
Belt) - Black Belt Masters Leadership Club

Andre Bowman Jr. – Adult Program - Salamanca NY
Black belt to me means
achieving a very important goal. It is a
very important goal because I get to learn new things. Also being able to get better grades in
school. Having a better attitude towards
school, homework and Karate.
Indiana Brundage (Black
Belt) - Portville NY
Bruyer’s Marital Arts taught me many skills that
have changed my life.
There are ten skills that I learned. The one
that I am best at is respect. Respect taught me to treat everyone the
same and nobody differently. Everyday I go to Karate I give a 110%
effort. Having a good attitude and respect are some skills that I use
everywhere. You will not regret choosing Bruyer’s Marital Arts.
Mikayla Rix - Teen
Program -
I have been studying martial arts for a
month. I’m very excited about coming to class and if I could I would be
in class everyday. I’m a white belt working on getting my white belt with
a black stripe. Since deciding to take this class my life has changed a
great deal. My self-esteem has greatly improved and I have enough courage
to be able to stand up for what I believe in.
Clare Manion
- Teen Program
I started my Marital Arts training in January and I
have been going to class twice a week ever since. I really enjoy going to
classes and I’ve learned not only self-defense, but also many other life
values. I have better confidence, discipline, respect for others, and
more from my training. I have also met a lot more people at class.
Marital Arts teach life-long lessons and I recommend it for all ages!
Rachel Webb - Teen Program
I have been studying Shotokan Karate with BMA for a
year now and it has been a great learning opportunity for me. I
originally started with intentions of getting more fit but after I had been
there for a while I saw there was more to karate than just that along.
It’s a very interesting art to pursue, nobody there is “better than anyone
else,” there are great people at BMA who are always willing to work with you,
and for me personally, after long days of cramming 18 college credit classes
into two days each semester and working to finance all that on my own, it’s
nice to let loose in class and focus on everything karate entails.
I see what this does for everyone else who attends,
especially the kids and it’s great. For one of the public demonstrations
BMA once held when I was only a white belt, I remember a ten-year-old student
walking up and greeting me by offer to shake my hand. Even though I’m not
generally a hand-shaker I thought it was interesting to see someone that old in
this day in age carry himself with so much confidence and maturity; two traits
BMA actively promotes to all the students. There’s a different vibe to
the atmosphere here, and it’s very welcoming and very challenging at the same
time. You can probably see why students of all age keep coming to
BMA. So if you’re not already a ninja-in-training, get down here!!
