My 12 year old son has been attending Red Tiger Karate for six years. The program is…read more fairly simple and the instructors were very easy on the kids as far as knowing the moves and the terms. My seven year old who has high functioning autism and ADHD has been very eager to start karate. Before enrolling my younger son I approached the director and two different instructors and asked them their opinion and views on children with autism participating in Red Tiger Karate. I also informed them that my son had autism and ADHD. These instructors knew my both my boys very well due to our many years in the program. They assured me that they had been working with children like my son for years and that it would not be a problem. They spoke with my son, they watched him move, they were aware of him and his limitations I enrolled my son in the white belt program and although he didn't do as well as the other students( we did start a week late) he did try and he was able to follow the instructions. Within forty five minutes I was approached by the owner, who promptly told me my son was "slow" "didn't get it"and that he needed to try something else besides red tiger karate. The uniform I had just paid for was taken out of my hands and put away for another student. I was given a full refund. What am I supposed to tell my son when he wants to go to karate class next week? Because there will be lots of questions. I did ask him to perform a few of the moves for me when we got home and he was able to replicate them pretty good. I also wanted to add that my older son had attended a class taught by the owner for future mentors. This class was to teach the mentors how to deal with students with autism and ADHD. We are finished with Red Tiger Karate.
