I didnt realize this until I started visiting other schools during travel. Only then did I grow a deeper value in the coaches we have. I look forward to train here until my wheels fall off.

Unprofessional and unorganized. Don't like how there is no structure. Unfortunately I have to pull…read moremy son out . Coach came in smelling like weed ! During class . How are you going to take a break and leave my child practicing by himself while you're outside smoking ! Not happy ! Also be careful when signing your child up I called and spoke with Josh and he informed me the price of $140.00 a month never mentioned a $50.00 registration fee that was the first issue I had then never told us that we needed to buy gloves and wraps! So on his first day we had no choice but to pay more and purchase wraps from the place and then I was told the gloves would be $60 when in fact it was $75.00 ! I would have expected all of this info to be provided when I called and inquired about the class and I asked what was needed like what does he wear etc . That would have been a good time for them to say also on top of the $140 there is a registration fee and he needs to have gloves and wraps to participate! Also the way they go about things like combining multiple age groups into one class is a bit intimidating to a 8 year old. This place treats you like a number and not a person in my opinion. You also have to hound the owner to provide you with an invoice . Otherwise you will get billed all together if not. Another parent mentioned how he had to constantly remind the owner to bill him and then out of nowhere got billed for a total of three months worth of classes . I'm sorry but if I'm paying business I should not have to remind them to bill me on time.

(More to come ! ) I could say a lot more but I think the accolades speak for themselves
