    My kids trained with master berry for 3 years. They were both 8 months from black belt when we…read morewalked away and went to a different school. We had already paid for an additional year (after a year you're pushed into a three year contract) and Master Berry refused to refund the 3rd year. We walked away mainly because the kids were not learning Tae Kwon Do. If you're an adult looking for a school that's different but they don't teach kids much of anything I'm sorry to say. After an evaluation the new school started my kids at white belt because they simply didn't know much. They each spent two weeks just learning to correctly perform basic stances, blocks, punches and kicks. To me that's sad after training for 3 years. I didn't check other schools before we started at the RT Berry school and got locked into the three year contract because that was to take them to black belt. I see someone with a black belt as having mastery in the art. That's not how it is as the RT Berry school. Kids get a child black belt which simply means they've been training 4 years. I have put up a site with lots of things you don't learn about until you feel you're too deep to turn back. http://www.rtberryreview.com Look it over and at least use the info to ask questions before you start. And what ever you do go and talk to and try out several schools before you choose one. Once your kids have been training for two years and your locked into a three year contract it's really hard to walk away at that point. So do your home work in the beginning. Again check http://www.rtberryreview.com

    "Let me start off by saying ATA Karate Denver is my first experience with any formal martial arts…read moreschool for my children and I find them to be a 1 1/2 star school thus far. So how do I come to this decision with nothing to compare it to? How can I be so arrogant as to what should be the expectation? One of my children started back in March of this year and the teachers have been patient, encouraging and joyful to be around. However, one of my issues is the turn over of the teachers on the staff. Through the course of 7 months I have personally seen 6 different teachers come through the school and it's aggravating and disappointing for my children and for myself. How does one build a rapport and trusting relationship when teachers come and go? ATA Karate Denver also has issues with equipment orders and getting the correct size for children. When my child started back in March, he was given the wrong size headgear from the start and we had to wait about 2 months before we purchased our own headgear for him. We took our son out of the school because of other obligations and since we were under agreement the school let our daughter take his place. For my daughter who started 2 months ago we're currently still waiting for a chest protector. I find these incidents totally unacceptable and not the proper way to operate a school when safety is an issue. We've also dealt with less than ethical contractual agreement issues with respect to outright lying. When we decided to enroll our son into the school we spoke with some type of manager. He played well in getting my son excited about Karate and wanting to become a black belt. When it came time to discuss cost of tuition and length of contract time things became muddy and dishonest. We were told that the only option available was a 3 year agreement and what the tuition would be. It sounded off but what did we know? So again we asked him was a 3 year agreement the only option available and we were told yes, so reluctantly we signed up. After about a month we found out we were lied to because we talked to other people signing up with less than 3 year agreement and we brought it up to management. At that point we're told that there are agreements less than 3 years and the main office set us up with a satisfactory agreement that we could be comfortable with. So there you have it, that's our experience. Many issues to deal with and our contract will be up soon. Can I say this has been a learning experience? Yes. Can I say we will repeat it? No!, ATA Karate of Denver needs to become more honest, organized and consistent and have instructors stay for more than a couple of weeks. This has been extremely frustrating and I only speak for my family but I assure you that other parents feel the same. Could I recommend this school to you in good faith and honesty? No, look elsewhere and if you have any recommendations please let me know."

    We have just enrolled with ATA Denver NC and are all exited to move forward with the program. The…read moremanager and instructors have encouraged discipline and a healthy lifestyle. My children are learning more respect through the classes and I have seen advancement in their confidence as they take pride in themselves when they "suit up" each week. It is a commitment on the parents part, as well. When I was approached by who seemed to be a recruiter, I was impressed with the assertiveness and self confidence of this young individual. Although I did not sign up immediately, there was no problem in communicating with the management to further understand the program. ATA Karate helps promote current, positive lifestyles for children and also assists in potential future endeavors for participants of all ages. Keep up the great work!
