Rowdy Roddy Anode,

Do you know which school it was? I have no idea if there are multiple karate schools in St. Albans and if I should be avoiding the entire city.

I took my then 4yr old (now 5yrs) son to this place in Milton..... http://martialwayvt.com/webpage.php?webpage_id=6
My wife and I thought they did a great job introducing karate to the kids, they made it a fun learning experience, my son really enjoyed it.  We may be signing him up again after fall soccer is over.  The class is roughly 30-40 mins long.  Keith Miller is the instructor that teaches the classes I believe.  Because my son was 4 at the time he had to be assessed, he was able to try out one class and they determined that he was old enouh to attend the classes.  If children misbehave and dont listen to instructions, thats when I believe there would have been an issue.  Good Luck
