I have been going here for SEVEN YEARS and all they do is beat the students up with a broom! If you dont know anything you where taught they "give you the cane", which means they whack you in the knee until you can remember what to do. If you can't remember they taught you, they lock you in the washroom until the end of class. I still go here, but only because they said that if i quit they will "make my family pay". I have no idea what this means, but i am assuming it means financially. They never clean anything, but the only time they do is when they make the students clean the floors. They used to have some pet doves which was pretty cool, but they were too expensive to feed so they killed them in front of us with a broom. How do you kill a dove with a broom? You can only imagine. After a while my parents couldn't afford it anymore, but that's exactly what they want to happen. In order to pay off my debts I was forced to do errands for the people behind this dojo, which is essentially a front for criminal activity used to support their drug habits! I was forced to rob a convenience store to pay off my debt. I didn't have a weapon, so they gave me a "battle baton", which is a basically foam rod used to beat students. The cashier called the police and I was arrested, but later let go because the police assumed I was just joking. It was humiliating. The next thing I was forced to do was slash the tires on a car at a rival dojo. Again, I didn't have a weapon to slash the tires, so they gave me a samurai sword. I slashed the tires and payed off my debt, but now I am in prison awaiting the death penalty. If you have any common sense do not send your children here!
I want to learn Karate. Because I want to do awesome kicks, visit Japan, learn Japanese, and learn AWESOME karate stuff. I can't wait to come!
