He's been there for a year and a half and he has learned so much, going from Cubs to a green belt. Mr. Blackburn is incredibly patient and a truly gifted instructor. He's the perfect blend of firm and fun and we appreciate the way he guides us through the process. Some of my younger nephews are about to be old enough to start and we can't wait to have the whole family going. It's such an affordable, wonderful system.

Visited for a free class. It was amazing the "quality" of black belts that were in class. I feel…read moreblack belt level should mean something - and the black belts in class the day I came were not anywhere near a black belt level. Everyone was nice. But I personally wouldn't come back due to the lower quality of training that was apparent.

I was in town for several months and was glad I found Maverick Training Center. It is my favorite…read moregym where I have trained. The coaches are exceptional; clear in their instruction, and they teach techniques in a logical progression that builds over the weeks, aiding learning. The gym has a safe, supportive, and respectful culture. People look out for their training partners, and I met some great people there. There's a better focus on standup/takedowns than at many gyms, which is essential since competitions and fights start standing. If you're looking for a place to train, definitely check out Maverick.

Other students here are very friendly, the gym is spotless, and classes are at convenient times. The owner has thought of everything to create a very welcoming environment; there are gi's for rent and coffee for sale after morning classes. I would highly recommend checking this place out, whether you are a total beginner or an advanced practitioner.

I had spent most of my time training out in Colorado Springs where the level of competition & skill…read moreis extremely high. I had done some training in Huntsville at other gyms, but they weren't exactly on par with what I was accustomed to. That's why I've decided to make Arsenal my home gym. They train hard & they actually try to match you up with other students that will challenge you. At Arsenal, they won't try to match you up against a 12 year old like another gym in town did to me while I was there. Prices are on par with other gyms here in town, but they also offer a wide variety of classes. The support here is great & I've always felt right at home. I honestly believe this is the best gym to train at in North Alabama.

The staff is great, but the way they get you to sign up for a year's contract is not…read more They offer a free consultation/first session. It's terrific; they take a photo of your kid and have them break a piece of wood, much to their delight (and the parents!). Then they make a wooden trophy that shows their first photo, with a "I'm a black belt!" waiting on the background. Then the sales pitch comes. You have to sign up for 1-year contract. My child enjoyed it for a month, then tired of it. I saw other kids doing the same. Meanwhile you got messages from locals who said the karate place across the street didn't have a 1-year contract; they had a policy in place to let the child decide of they really are interested in karate or not. While I very much enjoyed the instructors here, I'm not a fan of how they get you caught. I lost more than $1,000. Oh, and $250 worth of equipment, too.

There is no available cancellation policy and no way to get out of the contract unless you move 15 miles or more from the facility. My husband and I got divorced and it was a financial strain to continue payments for a service that my son no longer could use due to his school schedule and custody arrangements. After attempts to explain our situation to someone at AMA failed, with no response from the managing staff, I contacted their financial institution to explain. While they claimed understanding of the hardship we were under, they stated there was nothing they could do and we would need to continue payments for a service we weren't even able to use. Clearly, the most important thing to AMA is your money.
