The Women's class teaches everything you need to know to feel comfortable handling your gun even if you haven't had experience. He takes the time to answer questions. He keep class professional but comfortable enough that you don't feel embarrassed to ask questions. He also has examples of items specific to female shooters and tips that make shooting more comfortable for women. For the LTC class John provides all the information you need to pass your exam while keeping class interesting. He uses a lot of scenarios to demonstrate his points and make you think situations you may not have considered. He is very safety oriented and make sure everyone is properly handling their firearms. I definitely plan to take more classes at BlackStar!

If you don't want to read my whole long review here's a paraphrase: it was a course where the…read moreinstructor is incredibly arrogant, but you will leave more comfortable with your gun. If you have female genitalia, you'll probably want to avoid it. I was really looking forward to a beginner class. I had purchased it for my father and myself. We got about three text notices that the course started at 10:00. We got there at 9:50 and were told it didn't start until 10:30. Then, the instructor walked in and talked to friends and such in front of us until 10:45. So we had already been waiting almost an hour before the class started. Also, we had to pay an additional range fee that wasn't discussed so my bday present to my dad just got more expensive. Ok, the class was 70% of Kevin talking himself up and 30% learning. I understand that he was trying to show us how ignorant we are and how awesome he is, but I'm pretty sure we were in the beginner course because we already knew we were dumb. We didn't need to be made to feel that way repeatedly. He'd ask a question only to yell "wrong!" or "no!" It didn't matter if we answered correctly, he'd find a way to tell us we were wrong. Then, he smoked cigarettes the whole time he talked and the wind blew it in our faces. Now to the shooting. It took a loooong time of listening to how amazing he is and watching videos of him shoot at targets that we couldn't care less about. I had actually already watched the videos when I signed up for the course because I thought he was going to be a great instructor like the reviews stated. He was GREAT at helping us hold the guns and show us appropriate posture. He gave very thorough instructions and I was much more comfortable with my gun afterwards. The kicker? The whole time we were there, he loaded my gun for me. I thought "wow, that's really nice of him." At the end of the class, he pointed out to everyone that he had done it solely because I was female and he "would have been there all day" if he had let me load my own magazine. He didn't once even let me load my own. It was ridiculous. As a former boxer and bodybuilder, it took a lot not to get a little violent right then and there. Watch out, ladies. Your lack of male genitalia apparently keeps you from putting a bullet in a magazine. My dad was pretty upset so we just prayed that if he didn't have any daughters he's raised believing crap like that about themselves.

Areej and Dabin were extremely helpful in guiding me through the student enrollment process. They were both friendly and informative and had the ability to answer all of my questions on the spot offering insight that this school was in fact the right decision for me. I felt extremely blessed to have Ms. D (Damaris) and Ms. Jeimy as my educators. Ms. D, my theory instructor was fun, informative and truly understands how people learn. By combining personal attention, inspirational teaching and a detailed course, I felt highly motivated in my confidence and desire to learn and grow. Ms. Jeimy was my technique instructor and worked along side me with a harmonious teaching style. She was extremely patient, informative and encouraged both my performance and confidence. Both of these instructors bring their passion, skills and real world experience with them to the classroom, focusing on passing their knowledge to their students. Thank you so much, I am forever grateful to you both! I also had the pleasure of getting to know Veronica and Sarah. Both enhancing the school with their positivity and kindness. I also want to give a special thanks to Ms. Sylvia who is the director of this school. She has gone above and beyond to assist me throughout my time during school and continues to do so even after graduating. The best schools not only offer great classes and teachers, but they also provide an abundant amount of support and guidance long after their educational program. Ms. Sylvia is a perfect example of this. To anyone who is interested in gaining the best education in an environment that feels like home, ALAI is the school for you!

All of it is pretty new to me, I just signed up for a basic facial. Anyhow, I think it's really cool there is an aesthetics vocational institute like this in San Antonio. They are fairly new in San Antonio, established in 2019. Everyone I met was super nice and seemed knowledgeable.
