Karate For Kids

Sign up for the Groupon but don’t waste your money on the 3 yr contract or any contract for that matters. Because even if it was life or death, they still would NOT let you out of your contract. You are basically paying roughly about $ 6800.00 at the end of it all or more with competition fees that’s not included and any travel expense and extra gear etc. that’s like 190.00 a month, Crazy!!!
Most sports like soccer, football, gymnastic and even ice skating doesn’t even come close to what this place charges.
Very expense for a hobby that a child will only learn so much and maybe even only enjoy for a few weeks or only a few mths.

Cory Martin is a longtime friend and he is a true professional at what he does. A longtime resident and longest running instructor in the valley. His family are part of the business too. I don’t have any little ones but I have seen his operation and would encourage anyone with kids to enroll them. They teach self confidence and respect. 5 Stars for ATA Karate for Kids!

My kids started coming here when they were 4. They are now very respectful, well rounded 13 yr olds and Mr Martin, Mr Symons, Mr and Mrs Baker definately had a hand in their success. At this studio we are not just customers, we are family. You can see that by all the kids who started as tiny tigers that are now teaching and shaping young minds. My two children are now helping other kids to be able to protect themselves and also have the confidence to do so. I would recommend this studio to anyone who wants more than just taekwondo lessons. It is a place they can learn and feel at home.

My family of 5 has been coming here for 9 years. My sons are blackbelts along with my husband. I haven’t been able to practice I’m a brown belt and my daughter is a red recommended but started gymnastics 3 years ago and has had no time to be there. They are all family there. It’s always clean and the instructors are amazing with everyone! It’s definitely a community there

I physically went in and checked this place out several times, over the course of a few months before enrolling my child in there introductory 2 week program. At the close of those two weeks we were presented with a contract for a total of 2,200 and forms wanting our banking info. None of this was ever previously mentioned. They sell you on two prices (149 or 189) & that’s it. They completely misrepresented themselves. They are unethical creeps.

Classes are very flexible which was nice, but in 6mo, my son essentially learned squat. He loved going because of the games they would play at the end of the classes. During class, the kids follow the instructors moves, but the instructors did not really correct their form or reapply the principles to the point where they would stick. Very little discipline in the classes which allowed for lots of disruption and lack of attention. Especially for 3 and 4 year olds. Just for fun, if you have the money, but to actually learn something, look elsewhere.

This place is horrible. I got a Groupon and probably went 4 class total. It’s a total waste of money, even with the Groupon deal. What really upsets me is when they had Pro Motion pictures coming in to take pictures of your kid. The lady, I believe her name is Rachel Martin, asked everyone to fill and sign the release form. We aren’t obligated to buy the pictures. Well, I decided to purchase an e-​photo package (just digital copies via email) for $ 100. I called the studio right when I left (10 mins) to ask her to tell the photo company to cancel my order. This all went down 2 months ago and I’m still disputing this with my credit card company. Not only is this place overpriced, they’re a scam with this Pro Motion pictures.
Now onto their classes,
30 minutes classes aren’t enough time to get anything done after warmup and cool down. They have teenagers teaching this class btw… I understand they have a black belt and all, but if you’re supposedly paying $ 150 a month with only 2 classes a week (that’s the price they quoted me with), I expect more than that. You’re better off taking your money to an mma gym where the classes are unlimited, and they are an hour long class.
If you’re new, they need to help you achieve to the next level to get the color belt or whatever. All they do is let your kid go to class with the more advanced kids. They just gave me some paperwork and have my son practice at home. Well, what’s the point of me taking him to karate class if they’re not teaching him anything? How the heck I’m suppose to know what’s a high kick, left block, etc? Anyway, I’m over this place. Lots of other places to take your kids to. I’d recommend an mma gym like extreme couture or syndicate. The reason why they offer so many groupon deals is because this place is just horrible.
