I'm sorry the worst instruction I have ever seen. Terrible and crappy as you can get. One of the instructors said kicks are made for the body and not to the head. Then he went on saying what works we use and if it doesn't work we don't use it. Then he went on saying you have to spar with a black belt to see if your worth training. What a load of crap. Although I went their undercover,bi have been in martial arts for over forty five years and was a third degree at the time and took there so called black belt instructor to the ground. It's a joke of a school and I would urge you to save your money and go elsewhere. My green belt students were far superior to there so called black belts. They suck and that is being as polite as I can. They can offer you nothing. The worst of the worst. It should say American colleges of crap
