WHAT A FRAUD!!! Beware of this school! Michael is a very friendly person when you first meet him and he is very good with children. However his classes are nothing more than playtime in karate clothes. Worse yet is how he treats you once you become a member and how he talks about you when decide to leave his school! Don't waste your time here!!!

There is no system for progression from one level to another.
At other schools kids get stripes for each day they do well but here it all depends on how much Michael happens to like the kid or the kid's parent.
Even if your child happens to do better than higher level belts it would be explained away as 'your son is sharper in the mornings than other kids' or ' there is still one teeny weeny shake in his kick'.
The focus is more on your faults than your strengths. Psychology has proven that focusing on weaknesses only makes the person more miserable. I believe kids' self esteem would be more harmed then helped in this school.
Okay so its a fun class to take 2 or 3 times. That's about it, after that you've done it all! He calls it MMA, but really it's just basic kick boxing. After a few classes you sign up and then its the same old thing every time! He advertises the best prices in town for a reason... its a rip off!
I'm not too sure about his credentials either...
