Highly recommend!

Alex was visibly not supportive of me listening to my crying child. I emailed the biz immediately to state this change. Alex then, after my email, charged us for month 1 and declined to accept our withdrawal. Very poor ethics and business IMO, especially when kids are involved. Don't fall for the high pressure sales tactic. I would NOT advocate for this lack of empathy of a local company.

I am a brown belt from Orlando Florida ( Kuro Obi Shotokan Karate Dojo) and I travel all around the United States for business. I expended 10 days near Aurora CO for work and I needed to train, I called his dojo asking if I can go to do the classes and he was so nice and positive about it. teaching me to perfect my techniques and polishing my Katas and forms knowing I was coming from a different dojo... i'd liked his way of teaching and I looked at his classes with the kids prior mine... and I can say he is very good explaining and teaching all the karate techniques. Thumbs up 100%. I really like it!!! Oss Sensei thank you so much. Carlos

What incentive is there for kids to try hard when it doesn't really matter if they try or not? When I was in Karate, we had to try hard just to get a stripe, or 2 or 3. These people are passing out belts like a free meal on Colfax. I wouldn't recommend. You should be awarded based on skill, not on if you pay your monthly bill.

Even after only three classes, I can see a positive change in his attitude and mindset. He's becoming more independent and proudly offers to help more with his new 'BIG MUSCLES', which is the sweetest thing. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly care about each child. They make learning fun while still teaching discipline and structure. I've walked past this place so many times and finally decided to check it out as something special for my son's 5th birthday and I'm so glad I did. What I especially appreciate as a parent is how flexible they are. They offer drop-in classes throughout the week, which is a lifesaver with my crazy schedule and makes it easy to stay consistent without stress. My son looks forward to every class, and we're so grateful we found this school!

We really loved the teachers, they were very accommodating the couple times my child got sick and had to makeup a class and overall very friendly. Another child enrolled and was threatening to bite my child, on top of other alarming behaviors. I spoke with the teacher who said that she agreed that the behavior was not okay and that she was working on pulling the child from the program. 3 weeks passed and nothing changed, so we called to pull from the program. The teacher said she wanted to try to fix it and would call us back, she never did so we called back, again stating we were pulling. Master Silva was cordial and the call was ended. Then, two days later, another teacher from NMAA called me trying to get us to stay. Reiterating what was previously discussed, as well as adding the fact that I could enroll my child in two twice a week activities for the same price as her 30min/week martial arts class, I was then told that I had signed a contract and needed to give proper notice, and that I was liable for the following month, whether my child attended class or not. I asked them to send me the contract and they refused and when I pressed them a little more on this made up contract, they finally left me alone, agreeing that I wouldn't have to pay for the following month. After looking over their one star reviews, I now see that they do this to anyone who wants to leave their program. We planned on returning when my child was a little older but after how they handled themselves, we will never be returning, and want to warn others of their shady business practices and flat out LIES.

The instructors are incredibly patient, motivating and kind. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with these strong and skilled instructors, particularly Master H and Master Natzke. There are also a myriad of wonderful junior and adult assistant instructors and I love each of them. When I sprained my ankle numerous times last year and have gone through other medical issues, the administrative staff were understanding and supportive and I had no issues pausing my account. There is such a great atmosphere and it truly is a UMAC family - I highly recommend visiting for a free class.
