This place is a cult! Avoid at all costs!!!

This place is a total cult. The instructors act more like used car salesmen than teachers. They teach with three piece suits under their gi's, and they drive around in a fleet of escalades. They have incredibly shady business tactics, and will prey on you to squeeze as much as they can from you. They only participate in tournament against their own schools (they have three locations) so you never get a real gauge for how effective their teaching actually is. I was also enrolled in their academic school when it was open, and the place was a joke. When it closed I had to spend years catching up on basic things I would have learned in public school, and it crippled me in highschool. I'm not sure if their teachers were even accredited. They would openly strongarm students who were thinking about leaving and I even overheard them talking aboht "paying a visit" to a former instructor who left to go to college. This place is horrible, and it is truly unfortunate because some of the instructors are genuinely good people who are just too naive to see the true corruption of this place. Please don't make the mistake my parents did, and stay far away from this place.
