Terrible place, strictly and clearly a pyramid scheme. They don't allow you to cancel, proceed to bill you. Child gets nothing from the range of frequently changing instructors who are only there doing community service required by action karate's black belt program
To respond to their generic and, again, disappointing response - with lack of accountability -
Don't waste your money here. They do not listen to your wishes. I can upload some proof of my conversations stating "I'd like to cancel and not bring my daughter in" where they respond "bring her in we'll talk here" completely disregarding and disrespecting my parenting. They are not even paying attention clearly and didn't read my 5 text messages and several emails. At this point, I'd happily settle this with litigators.
You guys have people pay more for the black belt program and have them ( a range of ages and people in the black belt program ) teaching our children as it's "mandatory for them to do "community service" to obtain their belt, but it's poorly run and it would be a nice concept, if they actually learned ANYTHING. It's messy, our children became numbers, not even, and we'd be Better off letting them go to a free playground to get their yayas out. The instructors- constantly changing, there's nothing being learned, we're paying 70 dollars a class for them to sub out their work to their own clients. Clearly all a Pyramid scheme and I could tell the first day when they pitched me the full deal. I did it bc my daughter wanted to learn and we as parents wanted her to learn a sense of discipline. Can't learn discipline if they're not disciplined or morally intact themselves!
I am from out of town and decided to try out a lesson with Sara. At first the moves didn’t seem to be that difficult, but as we progressed with the lesson, it started getting harder. As I am not the most flexible, the high kick was challenging for me. Though Sara took the time and patience to show me different ways of doing the move so I wouldn’t get hurt. Her expertise in karate is also apparent, as she is able to teach so many different people of different skill levels. I suggest if anyone comes down for a lesson, they should ask for Sara!!!
My daughter Abigail just recently started at Action Karate Jamison about two months ago. She absolutely loves it. At first she was very shy but all of the instructors worked with her and eventually brought her out of her shell. Every week she is so excited to go in and learn with all of her friends and I especially love seeing how passionate and dedicated the instructors are to teaching. I am so incredibly proud of her and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone.
I started at Action Karate Jamison when I was only 9 years old, and I fell in love with it immediately. For the past 12 years, karate has been the only constant factor in my life as I explored new interests in various sports and other extracurricular activities. Even today as a full time college student, I am able to train and teach and see first hand how being a part of the Action Karate family has made waves in my life and in who I am as a person today. Sensei Michael, Mr. Hodum, Mr. M and Ms Ashlee are the best mentors I could have ever asked for, and I look to them today as I navigate career opportunities and other big life changes. Action Karate Jamison has truly made me the person I am today, and I will always thank my parents for signing me up and continuously pushing me to reach my goals.
The Instructors are extremely enthusiastic , exude positivity, and are engaging with all the students My daughter is on the Autism Spectrum and attempting to earn her Black Belt. They have welcomed her, understanding her unique challenges. She is treated as any other student but if she needs a little extra assistance, they take the time to see she fully grasps the techniques involved. Her confidence and physical abilities has grown further than we could imagine
Highly recommend taking a look at Action Karate at any one of their locations for your child's Martial Arts experience (ok Adults too) .
