We use Master Booe’s philosophy to curb rough play in our school. We don’t tell the children they can never play rough. We tell them that type of play is only for Karate class. It has been a useful tool.
Teacher Anna Burbank CA
Our middle school used Master Booe’s creed as a model to create our own. The students enjoy the chant and the teachers and parents notice the improved teamwork and school spirit.

The children love Master Booes class. While he is teaching the parents are in amazement. He has so much fun with them. He has taught my children so many ways to work out different behavior issues. He is very knowledgeable about how to deal with my difficult behaviors with the children and has helped us gain control of the situations. Master Booe is truly an asset.

All of the children and parents in our school thoroughly enjoy Master Booe’s classes. He established an outstanding rapport with the students and heir parents. His ability to be creative with the children and have engaging activities was outstanding. He is highly respected by the children. Master Booe does an excellent job.
Michele L. Carroll Roanoke Valley Montessori School Salem, VA
Master Booe has done a great job with the kids. He is so motivating that the kids just stay tuned in to him at all times. He is professional, knows how to keep the attention of the class and his technique is always fun. In a few cases parents thought Martial Arts may be too aggressive. Once they saw his program they knew that Master Booe was in line and in tune with the kids and while he demanded attention, at no time was his class ever too aggressive.
A lot of children needed this class to help build their self esteem or curb unwanted behavior. It is an appropriate type of class for both boys and girls.
Master Booe comes highly recommended by my staff and I at HoneyTree and I would suggest that all children get involved in his future classes.
Brenda Samson Director Honey Tree Learning Centers Roanoke, VA
I have taken self defense, tactical hand to hand, and physical control classes from the department and from multiple Martial Arts instructors. In all my experience I have yet to find an instructor with the capability to instruct and apply the total of the martial arts as Master Booe is able to demonstrate. I have benefited greatly from his classes and have recommended as well as persuaded many of my fellow officers to attend his instruction.
Myron Davis Knox County Police Officer Knoxville, TN
I highly recommend Master Booe’s instructional program. I am a board certified Family Practitioner who recommends this program to improve health and well being of my patients and employees. Master Booe taught his program at the Seymour Medical Center. His program is easy to learn, and extremely well received, and very beneficial. Without reservation I recommend the program.
Dr. Wayne J. Stuart Owner Seymour Medical Center
Master Booe has been coming to our resort for years instructing multiple classes weekly for our guests and owners. We have had many requests for this program and it has become a huge success. He has been terrific at adapting his classes to meet the needs of the various age groups and styles of owners and guests that we have throughout the year.
I would highly recommend Master Booe to any individual, group or organization that is interested in furthering their health and fitness potential.
