This place cares more about money than your child. They seduce you into a contract (Don't Sign!!!) and are deceptive in their sales methods. If you or your children loose interest, become financially strained, or are dissatisfied with the program you will be forced to pay the remainer left on your 'contract' or be sued for multiple thousands, as I several former parents have learned, in order to be released. Then there are fees for everything! For a 10 dollar belt and a thin piece of wood, a student is charged for "graduation tests and hundreds for ceremonies" that are simply conveyor belts to collect money. Their instructors are fair at best and most of the time students instruct other students. The whole meaning, philosophy and the beauty of martial arts is completely lost in this place.
Do yourself and your children a significant favor and seek instruction elsewhere - if you want an after school program, try the Monroe YMCA program, it's significantly cheaper and they offer better quality martial arts training along with many other after school activities your child will enjoy much more than they ever will here. The owner is completely lost on the value of customer service and is totally self-serving - he hardly ever teaches a class and leaves most of the grunt work to the older students. We have never expreienced a more dreadful environment for a child of any age. This place will make your kid hate martial arts forever.
