I gave the 30 day notice and it started up again even though the student was not there. We cancelled and it took months of haggling in emails and when the contact person got testy, I took other measures. What I had to do was change the number so they could not take money out. Even talked to the DA. My recommendation - cash or cashier's check so they do not get ANY of your account numbers. And, if I had read any social media beforehand, I would have followed the above advice so that he could still participate.

The first class was free and was an assessment to gauge if he would fit well in a class setting. Fortunately, he was able to follow instructions and we've been going since! He absolutely loves it there! All of the coaches are awesome and will really take the time to teach the littles correct form. It's really a friendly family environment, Coach Cliff and Miss Deb are always so welcoming and their daughter "Sissy" is my son's fav! Fun fact: They call my kiddo "Dinosaur" because when he first started he was so shy and didn't know how to make friends so he'd roar at everyone lol it just basically stuck! Overall I'd definitely recommend SOGMA for anyone wanting to get their kiddos into martial arts, I'm sure they'd love it as well!

Every instructor we've experienced for the 2+ years he has been attending has been thoughtful, safety conscious, detailed, and encouraging. They've taught my son values and skills that are meaningful and helpful beyond the walls of the studio. Integrity, courtesy, perseverance, self-control, and an indomitable spirit are all things they practice and encourage in their students. Their classes are affordable and there are so many different time and day options, it's easy to get my son in there a couple times a week. I highly recommend the Blessner Taekwondo studio in Ripon.

There are not a lot of options for jujitsu in Ripon, but you won't be disappointed when you join…read moreCGJJA-Ripon. This academy is open to men, women and children. They offer group classes and private classes. Group classes are separated by age groups to keep things fair in age and weight. If you are new to the sport, they offer a free introductory class. CGJJA also hosts an annual tournament for students to test their skills. We specifically signed up our 4 and 6 year old boys for their introductory class. After their first class, they were hooked and have been with this academy for over two years now. The coaches are very patient and great with the kids! The only drawback to this location is spectating. They only have a couple benches inside the front area. They do now allow parents to sit inside, I'm assuming for distraction purposes. If you want to watch, you have to stand outside and watch through the windows. Not the worst thing, but worth noting. All in all, we are happy with what our boys have been learning at the Ripon Academy!

Very disappointing and pathetic to not be remorseful after intimidating a child. A child who's been attending for four years. And let me just make this point. The rest of the coaching team is amazing. But coach Rusty is a coward for taking my child into the alley, shutting the door and berating a child that way. So that no one saw his disgusting behavior.
