I trained at this school for nearly two years and while starting out things seemed fine my…read moreexperience became more and more negative. One of the first "red flags" if you will was the lack of personal attention from instructors. Being a smaller woman, ~125 lbs, there were moves that I wouldn't understand, would have difficulty doing, or needed some extra assistance just in general to be frank. There is a higher-ranking woman at the gym, but I always felt as though I was given the cold-shoulder while other women were treated with a more amicable attitude. Next, during a class we were doing a king of the hill style drill with wrestling takedowns. (Side note I wrestled in high school and was well versed in the drill we were doing) Next thing you know I'm on my back, broken nose, and concussed with the male responsible not only not saying sorry but also annoyed that I was crying. The only person who said anything was my now husband, who they ended up kicking out citing this situation as one of the reasons. I ended up having to stop training for at least a week and when I got back nothing was said about my concussion/ broken nose. The male responsible continues to train there to this day and to my knowledge was never reprimanded for his actions. The final red flag was someone who was one of my main training partners when I started there because of his similarity in size. I began helping out with kids class around a couple months after I started and he began helping out a few months after that. Neither of us taught the class we were both just assistants. During a class, while the kids were doing a drill, I mentioned to him "Hey, maybe if you held them a bit higher they wouldn't hit their elbow." He proceeded to smile, tell me he knew what he was doing, and to not correct him again. After the kids were done and everyone was allowed to get water, he physically stopped me from getting off the mat and told me to apologize. Shocked I kind of laughed and asked "What?" He then told me to apologize and told me to never question him again and that he knew what he was doing. Stepping in front of me each time I tried to step around him. (Mind you that no one helping out has any authority over the other and we are all just assisting the instructor with the kids). I was unnerved by this situation but chose not to mention it because I assumed he was having a bad day... To my dismay I continue to hear his words "a lower belt shouldn't question his authority" from men and women that I've never met. When mentioning this to the owners of the gym nothing was done. I've since been banned, the reason being "tension" and the fact that this male is allowed to now teach the kids, and some adult classes. I would not recommend this gym, not for women, not for anyone with PTSD who might suffer from triggers in physical situations (because one of the owners will brush you aside and tell others that "it's fine [she] just cries"), not for anyone who is on the smaller scale. I hoped for so much more from a gym I heard highly about and instead received a broken nose, concussion, slander, and belittlement. If you choose to train there, good luck.
