Our daughter took classes at ATA for a few months. I should have known from our first class that we were not going to be happy with our experiences there. As soon as you walk in you notice how freakishly hot it is. We got there a little early since it was our first time and we didn't know what to expect. Instead of getting a welcoming greeting, Ms. Clark said "you guys are really early, just go sit over there and I'll talk to you about your options after class." The classes are advertised to start at 4, however they don't start until around 4:15. Classes never start on time and they would often end in under 30 minutes (which is what you are paying for). It doesn't make sense to not follow YOUR OWN schedule when you're trying to teach children discipline. The class itself was ok and our daughter was excited to come back. After the class Ms. Clark was a little nicer when it came to signing a contract to lock us into paying for a certain amount classes. Every time we came back we noticed that the heat situation wasn't changing. Our daughter has hyperhidrosis which causes her to sweat more than most children. The reason we even enrolled her in karate was because it was summer and she could be indoors while getting exercise. We made Ms. Clark aware of our daughters condition as well as our concerns with the heat. Her response was "it does get hot in here, she has to get used to it." All the children are required to wear long sleeve pants and a long sleeve karate jacket. When we brought her to class in a t-shirt and her karate pants we were told that she had to wear her full uniform to participate in classes because the owner will get upset if he see's anyone not in full uniform. So, you guys aren't willing to turn the AC up during the summer in ARIZONA...but you want me to force my 4 year old to be miserable in a hot uniform? As a parent this made me very upset and we told Ms. Clark that we would try,but again, she has a condition and it's too hot in that building. We continued to attend classes for a few more months, but our daughter started dreading it because "it's too hot mommy". Mr. Delgado even embarrassed her by saying "what's up with all that extra sweat" in front of everyone. Overall, this has been a bad experience for not only my fiancee and I, but also our daughter. Ms. Clark walks around with a very poor and arrogant attitude. I don't want a response like the review I saw before this with an apology. There is no excuse for her behavior and no apology will change the fact that she has no people skills. I have a handful of stories in which I needed to ask her a question and got a snarky remark like "well, I'll get to it eventually...but I'm not messing up my pile of time cards". Well, those time cards are required for classes so you should have completed processing them before class so my daughter would be in compliance with the rules that your company sets. I am warning you, do not sign up for this location. I have even tried to call the corporate office to speak with someone, but still no answer. Please save your valuable time and money and trust me when I say that this place is a joke. read more
