Andrew Wylie
Congratulations Mr. Andrew Wylie! I look forward watching the big game Super Bowl LIV Sunday. It has been a blessing to watch you grow from age 4 through black belt and rise to success in the NFL. Your achievements in life grew out of a foundation of faith in God, discipline, consistency, hard work, sacrifice. Pictures show Andrew and his sister Aleigha after the AFC championship game and as young students at Angel’s Karate #nfl #chiefskingdom #superbowlliv #angelskarate

Tanner
I spent most of my childhood here and took away some very valuable skills as well as life lessons. Years after my training here, I still hold these values close to me and apply them in life. Not only the instructors teach, but also the senior members step into a leadership role to create a very comfortable habitat for any new student to feel welcome in. The ultimate goal of self-defense is taught by highly prestigious instructors and Master Angel, his family, and other members along the way have changed my life and formed me into a respectable adult with high morals and self esteem. I would highly recommend training here.
