Our daughter has been with Sensei Moore and his school for many years. Originally we started in Sensei Moore's Adult Ed. Karate program offered in one the the local area high schools. Once Sensei and his wife decided to open their own location in December 2009, we jumped at the chance to stay with him and his excellent. Over the years, we have seen people come and go, as you would expect in any similar extracurricular activity.
We knew of Beth H., who decided to post only one side of the story. Sensei Moore and his wife both tried helping them in anyway they could in order for them to continue. YES, they did require Beth H. and her husband to agree to another one year agreement, simply because this is the legal way to conduct business, and also give the Moore's the legal authorization to students for an ongoing monthly membership. My wife and I were both present during this last conversation and heard both Sensei Moore, and his wife, explain this to Beth H. Also, they both told Beth H. that if she decided to pull her children from the program, for whatever reason, all they would require is a 30 day written notice. From experience, this is a similar requirement set forth by many programs that children enroll in like dance, gymnastics, etc..... Sensei Moore and his wife, have always done their best to assist families who are financially stressed, workout a way to let the students continue.
Regarding Beth H.'s comment about receiving nasty looks from Sensei Moore at local events, this is a complete lie! Our family has been at every single outside event that Sensei Moore has participated in, and every time he, his wife, or any of us at their vendor booth sees an old student, and/or their parents, we all greet them with open arms. Ir-regardless of their reasons for leaving. I can personally vouch that the two (2) times we have seen Beth H. and her husband at local events, Sensei Moore went out of his way to wave and say Hi! Of the two times Beth's husband initiated the salutation by waiving and smiling to Sensei Moore, Sensei Moore immediately and politely responded with a smile and waive in return. Once Beth saw who her husband was waiving to, she immediately pulled him in a completely different directiony. Beth did not wave nor smile. Therefore, who is the one with the nasty attitude? Obviously, according to your admonishing and inaccurate reviews, it's not the Moore's.
Our family, along with many others, are completely and thoroughly satisfied with the Moore's, and their Karate program All we suggest is if you're interested stop in, meet them in person, try a class if you like, and decide for yourself. read more
