Karate America World Headquarters

"Just know trying to cancel your membership after the 6 months period has ended will be a hassle! Be sure to check your My Studio app cause otherwise, you will be charged the 7th month. They will hunt you down to get you to sign up but when it's time to cancel you will have to go through the heavens and earth. I will definitely NOT be recommending Karate America to anyone."

"Unbelievably awful customer service that leads me to believe the headquarters is all about money. The woman I spoke with was rude and condescending. My children have not attended in 6 months and my account continues to be debited as no one informed me I needed to call headquarters and cancel their contract."

"Place is a complete scam, and the worst customer service. Absolutely DO NOT sign up for their “yearly discounted package”. They’re business model is terrible - hence don’t trust they can actually stay in business. We got scammed at the one in Coral Springs FL. We literally showed up for class one day, and there was locks on doors, place was empty. No warning, no communication - just closed down. After repeated phone calls, we finally got some “form letter” basically stating we weren’t getting a pro-rated refund for what we paid for in advance. Called the number on the letter, and got some worthless person that finally admitted she was just “there to relay messages and can’t provide any information; but it’s her job to make sure we were called by “management””. Big surprise - no phone calls. And they shut down over 4 months ago."

"The instructors are great, the Wells Road school is awesome, it's their financial business practices at their HQ that are in question. After canceling my son's membership in Feb, I was still charged an extra month afterward. They gave me some 30 days cancelation nonsense, which still holds no validity because I canceled 14 Feb. 14 Feb to 14 March is 30 days so why did I pay for the entire month of March. I'm owed a pro-rated amount at the very least! Great school,TERRIBLE business! BEWARE"

"If there was an option for a negative star it would still be too much for the scam the Headquarters of this place pulls. I travel for work and was visiting the Florida area so instead of doing recurring payments, I paid cash for my first month and decided a "month to month" option provided the most flexibility. The instructor was very skilled in her art but after attending 4 classes, I left Florida for health reasons and never returned back to the school but got a bill for 2 months of service. When I emailed Headquarters to explain my situation and tell them I been stopped going they basically told me they don't care about that and if they cancel my contract it would be from the date we spoke meaning they are going to charge me for an additional month in between. One of the students in the class was having the same issues as me one day in class and was told HQ handles the money. If you are reading this, please save yourself the headache...."
