This organization makes its members sign a 3 year contract that needs to be disclosed in larger print. We signed the contract thinking it was similar to other sports where our child could take a break after so many months. So be advised it's not that kind of organization. For example once summer break begins and trips to the grandparent's house begins, they still charge your credit card and expect your child to be in class. Once school starts back up imagine your child wanting to play another sport and having to juggle school, karate (two nights a week to make it worth it), and then participate in the other sport. We were very disappointed and unaware that we were signing up for one activity for three years, unfair and not reasonable. They do however let you out the contract if you change addresses outside of any 25 ATA Karate locations but make you pay $50. So imagine you have lost your job, and need to move, it will cost you another $50. I hope some person with the time, and money comes along to illustrate that the contract is not enforceable and unfair. This is karate for children not a mortgage for a house. I think dishonesty however is the foundation of their program. They get you to buy peripherals, and decide to have belt promotions which cost $60 each, even when it does not seem they are ready for a new belt! Just making sure others do not make the same mistake we did. Not sure if all karate places are the same, but I would shop around. read more

ATA does have different lengths of membership from 6 months to 3 years which is the time it takes to achieve the black belt. The program has a strong emphasis in life skills so if you need discipline or confidence for your kid this is a good activity. However this is NOT A SEASONAL ACTIVITY. And the reason is because the instructors are humans and not magician and they won't be able to teach or help your kid with their character or attitude in just 3 or 4 months. The belts have a cost as would have in any other karate school but there is a way of saving money here too. ATA will let you train for free if you lose your job and can not pay your child tuition which is a huge relief. They will also offer free private classes if your child loses its initial motivation ( which it is normal to happen after all .... Ask anybody : watching TV / playing video games Versus exercise , show respect and follow directions?? You need to remember why you put your child or yourself in a martial art program after all read more

My daughter is a first degree black belt! If asked a couple of years ago, I would have thought she'd be a dancer! She has grown to love competition, become even more confident, and an awesome leader with the instructor's guidance. The instructors are caring and strict - which is a great combination in this setting. They have even inspired me to join! Tough training but I am enjoying it - taking classes with my daughter! read more

RUN! Do NOT do business with Ro Lawsin/ROGELIO LAWSIN. SCAM. They will lie to your face and get you to sign a contract. Once it's signed they send your information to collections. If you ever want to cancel, you can't - they put you in collections. Zero 1:1 instruction, just a huge scam. Owner is a total dirtbag with multiple businesses where he scams people. ROGELIO LAWSIN - SCAM ARTIST. read more

I wish I could give them a minus 1 rating. Don't fall in the contract trap of No Refunds. If this is how they profit with an unlawful No Refund contract, SHAME ON YOU. I wish I had never signed my daughter up and full of regrets. Not only is she not comfortable in the class but she don't want to attend either. Research the contract and NEVER sign a NO REFUND contract. read more
