National Karate Schools

"Be very careful before signing your child up. We were very pleased with the center for the first few months. They had a great teacher. She then left and unfortunately it became a revolving door or teachers. Our least month they had several cancelations and then one day we showed up, no one was even at the center. Kids were having trouble advancing levels because each new teacher didn't even know their baseline skills. We were having such a poor experience that we ended cancelling our last few months. We emailed and informed them. Two months later we get a letter from collections - at no point did they try to send us an email to all emails on file or even an invoice to our home. Their contracts are very binding, even if you have a poor experience. During our last few months they tried to get us to sign up for a 36 month contract. We informed them that they needed to change their contract binding language. The owner kept emailing us back, playing dumb, as if we would simply be able to cancel it because he said so in an email - but wouldn't put it in the contract. Kids at the age of 13 shouldn't need to be bound to a 3 year contract - and it's obvious that they send you to collections if you need to cancel. If you're open to a rotation of teachers every 1-2 months, then this may be the right place for you. They will however have no sympathy if you have a poor experience and wish to no longer subject your kid to the experience."

"They make you pay at for a whole year in advance, no exceptions. My brother broke his big toe and wouldn’t refund 3 months worth of classes he had to miss because he had surgery and PT! Not a good place of business."

"Enrolling my son was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. His self confidence is increasing and his concentration is improving. He is proud to wear his uniform. The staff is wonderful and encouraging and the skills that they are teaching will last a lifetime."

"Love this place! We have only been attending about 3 months but my kids love every second of it. They ask everyday if it's karate day - the teachers are so sweet and caring. So glad we chose this location for our karate adventure!!"

"The staff here are great. My son has gone to this school for years. The teachers are great with all of the kids. They are great at engaging the kids. They keep the classes entertaining while also teaching them great self defense."
