If you have children and live in the Salt Lake City area it's time to visit Monk Wise.  No other program for youth in Utah will challenge, stimulate, and instill confidence in your child like this one.  Youth enter a fun yet challenging environment great for exercising not just their bodies but self control as well, all while learning boundaries and life skills.  I have found the programs at Monk Wise to also provide youth with defense against bullying.  The program developed by Shifu Woolsey goes to the core of the problem with bullies, and that is developing self-confidence in youth.  Youth with greater self-confidence cope better with bullies, have better social skills, and do better in school.  I fully appreciate the positive influence that Shifu Woolsey and the other instructors at Monk Wise instill in my son.   I cannot stress the importance of a place like Monk Wise for your child enough.  -B.
