Racist organizations and instructors

No!

These guys & girls who teach at this school and the organization they belong to are a bunch of racist. They have minority students but will not give them any authority or leadership roles whatsoever. This practice has been in place for years! One of the high ranking so called professors has openly said the N word on numerous occasions while teaching and no one did or said anything. What a role model that professor is 😂🤣😂 Then another professor (who is a board member) falsely acquired blank black belt certificates supposedly signed by a deceased teacher and had his students at this school fill in the ranks as they please just don’t put the rank above theirs 🤣😂 They are a bunch of fakes and phonies and the crap they teach will get someone killed! They are not fighters so how can they teach someone to fight? And they’ll say that Martial arts isn’t about fighting 🤣😂🤣 but it is!! But not to them. But that’s just their cop out to compensate for their lack of skills. If you’re smart you’ll stay away from this cult and this organization they belong to. They are a bunch of unskilled frauds and crackpots

Mcdojo that teaches ineffective martial arts

These instructors along their students are a cult. The founder of this system would throw up in his grave if he saw what has become of his art in the hands of these fakes

They have great classes for kids in judo, very imaginative and active. They have a great place to practice at the Thornton Park district. Each year, they hold special seminars with invited advanced instructors. Students of all ages are ver committed and serious.

(NOTE: Their style is clearly listed as DanZan Ryu jujitsu, the best style for self-defense. They have NEVER claimed to teach Brazilian Jujitsu!)

There is no BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) being taught here! This is false advertisement to say it is. What is here though is a bunch of kooks who who wouldnt know jujitsu/Jujutsu/Jiu-Jitsu if it bit them in the ass! This place is For soccer moms and Old folks only. Dont waste your time or money!
