    I'm the owner of this school, and couldn't even figure out how to reply to that post from 3 years…read moreago until now. I wasn't there that day, and the lady you speak of is also not there. We would love for anyone interested to come in and try a free class. We do bow as a sign of respect to our school, the flag, each other, and to the parents everyday though. We're now located at 306 Cove Terrace

    These people are reasonably nice but are seriously weird as hell. I took my child in for a free…read moretrial class, rather than putting her with her own age group, there were grown ass men and women stretching and exercising with these kids. Now why wouldn't any child feel self conscience when you put them with 30 year old black belts and try and teach them stuff? Anyway, we stuck it out for about a half hour, they wouldn't let my child come into formation until she "bowed" before coming onto the mat. Aside from that, the woman with the frizzy hair at the front desk takes this class very seriously and will hound your child if he/she is not moving at the exact same pace as the others. She made my child (let me reiterate that this was her very first class she had no idea what karate was before walking into this building) do ten push ups (which is fine with me for disciplinary reasons) but for not stretching properly? Come on now. At this point, I looked at my child and realized how miserable she looked, I picked her up and grabbed her shoes, we walked out and will never look back. It was a terrible experience, please don't take your children here.
