Reviews of Karate Dojo

Every one please gather to the attention that this is the well recommended place in my opinion I went to summer camp was really fun and then again there is a lot more fun things there.

My kids went here for 2 summers and 1 school year of after care. It was ok to start with but then I guess Vickie began getting stressed out because she started making snarky comments not only to my kids but ABOUT THEM to other staff IN FRONT OF MY KIDS!!!!!! Not only that but they changed their contract to a full year commitment - so, if we move to Timbuktu during the year, I still have to pay them. One time 1 kid had to go to tutoring after school and I forgot to let Vickie know and she advised me that she's "paying a driver" to get my kids but then when that same driver didn't show up 1 day and I got a call from the school saying my kids were stranded and had to go pick them up, she forgot about that. My kids were showing aptitude in class as well but, because of how badly they were treated at the end, they don't even want to consider another instructor. I do NOT recommend.

Ocala Karate Dojo has been one of the top AAU competition clubs for over 20 years. The instructors have trained and competed in Japan and Okinawa. Masters from Japan and Okinawa frequently visit and train at the Ocala Karate Dojo. They have been awarded one of the top 20 National teams in the USA by the AAU National committee.

My son loves going to this facility but he made one mistake after

weeks of being there and me hearing great compliments and all of

a sudden I come in and Vicki says “he is out of here” I was dumbfounded.

My response back was If he has been so bad why haven’t I been told anything

And now you don’t want him here anymore? I thought respect and

discipline were key but I guess it’s do one thing bad and your “a bad kid”

Yes that’s what my son was told. He is not a bad kid he has ADHD

And at times oversteps his boundaries and has a rough day all around.

My son has attended the school for the past six years. He began at the age of for the skills he has developed are nothing short of amazing . It's no wonder the community has voted Karate Dojo best of the best year after year. All you have to do is stop in for yourself and see.

Where do I start??? First off I call multiple time and left message and never em received a call back over a course of two weeks. Once I finally spoke to someone I was informed about the vocal lesson and was directed to speak with Colton as he was the coach. Colton seemed to be very outgoing and knowledgeable so scheduled time for my 10 year and I to come in and meet with him. We arrived at the facility on time and could not gain entry because the doors were locked. We could see someone walking around inside (later to be known as Colton) we knocked and waved at him to get his attention but he continued to walk around as though he didn't see us. The comic book store next door was open so went inside and asked if he knew why the doors were locked. He actually walked around to the other door to try and gain entry but he was unsuccessful. After about five minute of waiting Colton finally opened the door. I should have recognized that we were in for a wild time dealing with company. Colton explained the process and we scheduled to begin vocal lessons that following Saturday. We arrive this Saturday everything went well and schedule the next lesson for the following Saturday.

The instructors and owners are great with kids. They are truly a fantastic dojo and I hope to keep my kids going there for many years.

Do not go here! These people discriminate against certain lgbt minorities. If you currently train there quit!

I was a student for a month, never missed a class. All I wanted to do was get back in shape, but as I was paying for my second month they revoked my membership just cause I am trans!
