Testimonials

I do not have enough words to express how our family feels about Sensei Perry,  Sofy Platis-Bell and the team at Deshi-Do Martial Arts.  I will try.  There was a time, when my youngest was completely non-verbal, would have daily ‘long’ melt downs , was exclusive and his sensory processing created a lot of challenges for him and the truth be said, his prognosis was not so great.  One day, and on the same day that a paediatrician couldn’t even put our little man on a scale, Sensei Perry took the time to greet Thomas with a high five and asked him to do a kick and a punch. Thomas complied. My husband, in complete shock, rang me immediately and said you won’t believe what just happened. It was a momentous occasion and a turning point for our little man. Since that moment, when he couldn’t even cross the road or be weighed, Sensei Perry has taught my son his left and right, how to complete an obstacle courses, he has taught him step by step how to do a forward and backward roll, follow instructions and to be quite frank has given us more hope and faith than any practitioner and professional ever has.  He has helped him build self-confidence. They have built the most incredible relationship and he has helped my child grow and develop in ways we didn’t know was possible. We will be eternally grateful. Karate at Deshi-Do is more than self-Defence and Sensei Perry crafts is lessons daily so that the children’s brains and bodies develop to maximise their potential. If your child is challenged, has ADHD, learning difficulties, Autism, or they just need to build self-esteem, there is no better place. The culture at Deshi-Do is incredible and the team, Sofy, Amy are all equally amazing.  It is a safe environment to learn, be challenged and be inspired. I simply do not have enough words to express my gratitude. With lots of love the Makrangelos family
