"Dear Dr. McCain, Words cannot fully express gratitude we feel for the impact you've had on son, Reece. I cannot say I'm not saddened by his decision to "take a break" from TKD. I understand how "breaks" work. However, I understand and accept his decision nonethless.

For nearly 7 years, you and Ms. Schwartz have helped to shape Reece's character though Tae-Kwon-Do and in the process, you've help shape his life. You influenced him to be a godly man during some critical years of his life...years I pray he looks back on as a blessing from the Lord.

We all have people in our life that we reflect on as having made a significant impact. For me, it was an English teacher and a wrestling coach. What made their impact significant was their care, concern and constant encouragement. Thank you for doing the same - and much more. You are truly dedicated and committed to people and to Reece that much more.

May God bless the work of your hands Dr. McCain and Ms. Schwartz! May God continue to carve a significant path for your lives in the same way you carved one for our son.

Mrs. Miceli: My kids started at MCTKD over 5 years ago. While they have been physically challenged they have also been spiritually encouraged. Dr. McCain has taught them perseverance and respect. I believe their characters have been positively influenced because of this class. Dr. McCain truly cares for his students and this is very important to me.

"We originally enrolled our home schooled daughters in Taekwondo because we were looking for a PE class that they could participate in together. We quickly realized that taekwondo is about so much more than exercise and fighting/self-defense. The skills and work ethic that our daughters have learned have carried over into many other areas of their lives. Through taekwondo our daughters have learned to pay attention to detail, be alert, persevere, respect authority, overcome timidity, and find satisfaction in hard work. As an instructor, we cannot recommend Dr. McCain to you highly enough. He has been an incredible, godly influence over the lives of our children. Dr. McCain is a man of integrity and has always treated our daughters with respect and Christian love. He is a humble man with a pastor's heart, who shows a keen interest in the character and lives of all his students. Not only is he great at teaching martial arts, he makes the classes enjoyable. My daughters love taking taekwondo from Dr. McCain." Mrs. Laura Curry

"We would like to recommend to you Dr. Dennis McCain, first as a pastor, secondly as our Taekwondo instructor. In both roles, Dr. McCain is pleasant and shows forth good character. He is loving and firm, joyful and patient, able to instruct others in character development as well as in the art of Taekwondo...The Christian principles tied in with the training serve to remind us that God is involved with us in every activity..." Dr. and Mrs. Keith Wong

"Dear Dr. McCain, Ms. Schwartz, Mr. Buie and Staff: We wanted to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for you all and appreciate your loving patient teaching." Dr. and Mrs. Hernandez, and Family.

"...Right from the beginning I felt comfortable, as well as impressed with Mr. McCain... style, technique, care, warmth and most importantly...godly influence on my children. My children have learned... valuable life lessons...commitment to themselves and others, discipline in learning...all three have grown in leaps and bounds positively in their self- esteem..." Cynthia Long

"Starting with the first lesson we were very impressed with the respect that Dr. McCain showed our son. His self-esteem has been bolstered enormously through his experience at Mid-California Taekwondo... each student is made to feel as if they are special and unique." Jeff Ferrari

"...Since this class is open to public observation, we have been able to sit in on two separate occasions. It is really exciting to see our sons learning discipline, respect for others, self control and then having them applied to Christian living. Society today does not require discipline for children, it is evident in the world around us." Danny and Donnie Long
