Twenty-four children attending the young children's program at Charles Water's Hwang Karate Studio, located in Williston Park, received promotions recently. The following students have received their promotions. These students have shown their respect by listening, have increased their physical coordination and have built upon their strengths as people to feel good about who they are. These children are the leaders of tomorrow.

"Our goal at Hwang Karate is to facilitate mental growth enabling our students to reach their highest potential as human beings," says Mr. Water, owner and director of the school. Our studio teaches students how to defend themselves responsibly while instilling self-confidence, self-discipline and respect for others."

Charles Water's Hwang Karate Studio, Inc. is a full time professional martial arts school, with classes for children, adults and teenagers. The school is the only one on Long Island that also offers Karatatot®, the program specifically designed for pre-school children starting at 4 years of age.
