There was a billing issue when I cancelled my membership (apparently because I opened my membership…read morein one location and cancelled it at another). I jumped to the conclusion that the overbilling was intentional and made a huge stink about it. I was wrong. Kevin showed me the website of his payment processor and it looked like my account as cancelled. He was able to get it all figured out, once he knew what the problem was. If you have a billing issue, especially when ending your membership, go to Kevin directly and give him the chance to make it right.

Respect for parents, teachers, others, and very importantly... yourself. His instruction and specific pointers on how to deal with bullies certainly elevates the students confidence; which helps ward of bullies. My son was three when he started the Knee High Samaria classes. At first he would stay with the class for a couple minutes, then rush over to Mommy and Daddy on the sideline. Kyoshi said to be patient and that he would get it. Within a month and a half he was fully into and enjoying the class. His confidence and self discipline have soared. My hat is off to Kyohshi. He is great with kids. Again, it is not just about learning karate, it's the life lessons and messages that make the National Karate Institute valuable for students and parents. Thank you Kyoshi!

I looked into this dojo for my son because I trained in karate for about six years when I was…read moreyounger, and I know how valuable good instruction can be. I wanted him to have that same opportunity. What I saw here raised one red flag after another. The Kenpo taught here struck me as so watered down and Americanized that I had trouble recognizing it as the martial art I hoped my son would learn. They've incorporated boxing movements that, in my experience, make little sense in karate sparring. I was genuinely surprised to see ducking taught as a move. The belt progression concerned me even more. My son has a friend who earned a black belt here at age 12 after only three years of training. On its own, that might warrant a closer look. Combined with fees for each belt test, it left me with the impression that promotions are happening far too quickly. A black belt should represent years of demonstrated skill and hard work, not a series of paid tests. I also found the push to commit to months of training troubling. Other reviews allege that families were asked to leave five-star reviews; I can't verify those claims, but they added to my concerns. I'm sure some children enjoy the classes. But from what I saw, the emphasis seemed to be on keeping kids entertained and moving through belts, rather than teaching a disciplined martial art with meaningful standards. If you want a fun hour-long activity for your child, this may suit you. If you want serious, traditional martial arts instruction, I would look elsewhere. To me, this had every hallmark of a "McDojo."
