    They've been great so far helping our son follow directions/listen while having fun. He tried…read moreanother karate school and they wouldn't allow him to continue because he wouldn't follow directions but this karate school is interactive and give a little individual help to new kids and old alike to help them focus and get back on track. He's now eager to follow the instructors commands and attend when in the beginning he was scared to get out there because he was kicked out of the other class which said it was his age group but there were way older kids who appeared to have gone before. Dojo classes truly are kids his own age and a mostly kids that have only began within a few months or two but all still young and on same developmental level. Very impressed with their ethics and interactions with the children.

    I can't say enough nice things about these guys! My kid has been going here for the last 4 months,…read moreand the way they instill good behavior in class ripples outward in every facet of their life outside of the dojo. Coach Lamb is friendly, yet stern and knows how to get the best out of the kids. It's really wonderful to see how engaged my son is with this. Around my house, it's easier to get him to be respectful and listen when telling him to clean his room, get ready for school/bed, etc.....and the fact that he now says "yes m'am" without being prompted is pretty darned awesome, I must say. The staff here cares, and it really shows!

    Make sure that you do not sign the contract. If you do, then Larry Bullard can choose to teach or…read morenot teach anything he wants, and you will still have to pay. My child did not improve her martial arts abilities, as sparring was not focused upon. Katas and up-selling were. We originally signed a contract that was valid through the end of the year. Larry then up-sold us to the "black belt club", amending the contract termination date. To join the "black belt club", according to Larry, you had to demonstrate martial arts abilities. It's really just to extort $25 more a month. At the time, it cost $40 every six weeks to attend the "graduation" to advance to the next belt. Despite Larry telling me and my wife that should we ever become dissatisfied with the instruction we could simply submit a 30-day notice to un-enroll our child, we were locked into the contract until the end of the contracted period--three years. Our only recourse was to sign a settlement agreement for well over $1,000. We decided to leave because the instruction was horrible. Most of the instructors were older and overweight. Sessions primarily consisted of rudimentary, repetitious group activities. Participants were not separated by level. To graduate to the next belt level, you only needed to attend the specified number of classes, and children needed to turn in sheets documenting that they performed parent-specified tasks (such as, cleaning their rooms without being told to do so). The instructors spent a large portion of each class talking about how great they were. If you aren't well-versed in science fiction, then don't expect to get their jokes. Following class, Larry would typically ask the children to perform marketing for him by going to school and talking about "the dojo" and/or convincing school officials to let him present. You may have seen his advertisements on your child's school's binders. If you are serious about you and/or your child becoming proficient in a martial art, shop around. Go to several places and watch the instructors. Are they focusing on sparing? Is each participant getting attention, despite his or her age? Are there any children with black belts?--There shouldn't be. Ask how often students spar and whether it's full-contact or slowed down. During your search if you ever hear that the instructors have special training to enable students to advance quickly, then leave. If there is anything like a "black belt club", then leave. If you are pressured into signing a long contract, then leave. Stay away from Appalachian Karate.

    Is it possible to give a negative star rating?? Look…read moreelsewhere for karate lessons. From the minute we enrolled we were hit up for more money (to join more elite levels, to purchase equipment, to "graduate" to the next levels, etc.) My children did not seem to learn all that much but as long as we paid the graduation fees they were moved up a belt. There was an extremely high turnover of staff with no explanation ever given for their sudden departures, which also seemed suspicious to us. Trying to end our lessons was a nightmare and involved us having to hire an attorney. In our opinion the owner of this establishment is deceptive and more interested in his bottom line than running a reputable business.
