Reviews of America's Youth Karate

America’s Youth Karate has no standard.

On a 15-week term, you can attend just five classes, do not take the test nor attend the last day of test/promotion and on the next term do not register until the fourth week, and you would still be promoted to the next belt level when you show your face. Just show your face.

In Rancho Penasquitos Class there is a student who habitually has more absences than presence, and every time he does a stretch of absences and indulge in other athletic activities in conflict with the karate schedule his mother would always talk it out to the instructor and replete with drama of the boy shedding tears. This student did not take the test and did not attend the test/promotion day during the last day of the June 13 to September 05, 2015 Class.

Also he did not show up on the first three weeks of the current September 12 to December 19, 2015 class and yet surprisingly was declared by their instructor to have been promoted from 3rd blue to red first degree – seven weeks after the last promotion test which he never took.

Seven weeks after the last promotion test which he never took and that he was not attending the Mira Mesa class if such was the case of the promotion otherwise he would have gotten his new belt seven weeks ago.

So in America’s Youth Karate you can be absent in as many classes as you want and do not even bother to take the test/promotion. Just show your face one month after and you will get your next higher belt - without earning it, of course!

And so I am looking for a real karate school where I can transfer my child.
