Review for The Center For Anti-Violence Education Inc, Brooklyn, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When I signed up for karate classes at CAE, I just expected to learn karate. I've done that, but I've also gotten so much more! CAE is such a wonderful force for good in the community, and I am honored to be a participant. In addition to continuing studying karate, I've begun training to become a self-defense instructor at CAE so that I can pass on what I've received, and help CAE's mission.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

increasing my own confidence in my skills and ability to respond to and hopefully defuse potentially threatening situations, and giving me conflict resolution and life management tools both for myself, and the ability to teach others these tools as well.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

offer more programs, both onsite and offsite - CAE's work is so important, and I wish more people had the opportunity to experience its offerings to the community.

Role:  Client Served & I studied martial arts and self-defense, and participated in community outreach efforts to raise awareness of violence in our community and elsewhere.
