Reviews of Japan Martial Arts Centre

I brought my 3 children to this school, and must say the Sensei has a vast knowledge in Karate!

I sent my kid for 2 years. The instructor focuses on showing the kids several moves and kicks. However, if the kid isn't doing the move properly, he won't bother taking corrective action. He moves on to the following kick. The kids don't focus on one kick till they perform it properly. The number of kids per session is relatively high (at least 15 to 20 kids). He offers every kid a higher belt every 3 months no matter if the kid is ready or not. It's all to get the extra test fees and the cost of the new belt. I saw kids with blue and green belts and they won't deserve a yellow belt.

When I attempted to stop my kid from attending these classes, they stole two months from my bank account even though I informed them 30 days prior to stopping the classes.

I trained here for more than 3 years before giving up.

the owner has a huge ego that sometimes gets in the way of safety.

There are other teachers there too - they are hit and miss.

Kids get hurt frequently.

The things I have heard them say to students and parents will make your hair curl, I can not believe he has not been sued.

There is black mold in all the corners of the mats.

As you progress up the ranks you are required to go to more and more 'seminars' for $$$$ (that usually corresponds to Christmas, mortgage renewals. ...) where over 50% of the time he speaks of how he needs more money.

People are charged different rates based on how much he feels is the family income.

I can go on - but really - take your business elsewhere.
