Profit above Quality every time…read more The Amity location of WC TKD is below poor. if I could have chosen no stars, I would. I brought my child there 2.5 years ago. During that time, they have "lost" him twice (the first time he flagged down a stranger on the sidewalk and asked to use his phone to call me.) He has broken his arm. And still, they flag me down on the sidewalk asking for additional fees for equipment, belt advancements, tournaments, and more. Once you child advances to black belt protest, classes are Available only three times per week - and the Saturday morning class is frequently cancelled so they can hold more profitable sessions. So, be prepared to move everything else in your life to accommodate their whims. Parents are not permitted to stay inside the dojo during classes, (so god knows what, if anything good, your child is learning for $250 per month plus extra fees), relegating you to sitting in your car for a 40 minutes session, or shopping at one of the filthy stores in this strip center. Training is "get them through," style, with no character or learning around the craft itself. "Masters" are high school and college students who function without leadership and just try to get commissions for extra charges. No one should take their children here. I am perpetually sorry I stayed as long as I did.

My son started white belt a little over a month ago. Bashta Sr. and Jr. are incredible. Jr works…read moregreat with the younglings and serves as a really great role model. What I love about Sr. is that he keeps the kids IN CHECK! Martial arts starts with discipline and many of these young kids are bouncing around or talking or not listening to directions. I appreciate that Sr. keeps them in line. In fact I prefer it because it's so distracting to the other kids who really want to learn and the parents aren't telling their own kids to buckle up and stop playing around.

I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at Bashta's for 5 months under Adam Laudano. BJJ is…read moreoffered 3 days a week and also 1 more day of open mat. The classes always start off with a 30 minute warm-up that includes a variety of cardio exercises and stretching. We then usually drill a new technique and/or practical self-defense for up to 45 minutes. Adam's instruction is very detail oriented and thorough. He won't let a single person go through class without being able to perform the technique well. He is respectful and is seemingly unlimited in his knowledge of BJJ. After drilling, we "roll" (spar) with each other for 15-30 minutes. I get the sense that i'm part of a "team" because everyone supports each other at regional competitions. Competing is encouraged as a means to grow skills and progress. No one is expected to win, only to learn. All of the students are very respectful and helpful. There is a variety of white belts all the way to black. The black and brown belts are extremely respectful and helpful to the other students. There is no pressure in Adam's classes, or feeling of judgment by others. The classes themselves are very informal, questions are encouraged at all times. My fitness has greatly improved overall from taking BJJ. I used to go to Planet Fitness 4-5 days a week and see much superior results from doing BJJ.
