Highly recommended! After moving to the Nashville area, I…read moredecided to start martial arts training again (yes, at 54 years old!). After visiting several area schools/dojos, I chose the Nashville Shotokan Karate club. I feel that it is important to get a good vibe and connection from the school. My initial thoughts were that, after sitting in on a couple classes, I liked the atmosphere of class and Nataliya Pidkovka sensei's teaching style. Now that I have been attending classes for a couple of months, that initial impression has not changed. I very much like Nataliya Pidkovka sensei's approach. She is technical, expects the content to be learned correctly and is open to questions at any time (unlike some dojos where questions are discouraged or outright not allowed). I look forward to continued training at the Nashville Shotokan Karate club.

I had my kids in David Deaton Karate for about a year. I honestly don't know enough about dojos…read moreand karate to tell you whether the instruction was any good but the instrutors were all very disciplined but good to the kids. I found that the price was really exorbiant and it seemed to get more expensive the further we went along. The general idea is that the kids learn a kata and some rudimentary moves and then they can move belts for which there is a ceremony and then additional purchases of pads. My main gripes were the prices $125 a month and the pads seemed to run you and extra $100 or so everytime they moved up a belt which at first can be every 4-6 weeks . I probably could have lived with the pricing but my kids were sort of ambivilant to going so it wasn't worth it for me. My other gripe was that there was all this saluting the flag and pomp and circumstance about god and country and supporting troops. It's not that I mind that either but we are studying karate which you know didn't orignate here in America. It just seemed like it was David's politics with some Americanized Brentwood Karate mixxed in. Not my bag.

I got my 2nd Dan blackbelt at his school when it was in Brentwood. My oldest son got his 1st Dan blackbelt when he was 12 yo. My younger sons never got their black belts because they were too young, but they got up to brown as far as they could go. I would go back but we live too far away in another state.

Owner, Alexander Kaufmann, and manager of Pepper Boxing ATL, Chase Pickett, are two incredibly…read moredishonorable individuals. These men asked individuals to train to lead the classes taught at Pepper Boxing while reassuring said individuals that they would be compensated for their time, so long as they did not quit training of their own volition. Three weeks into training, they decided to mention that not all of the individuals who had completed training up to that point would be continuing on as trainers with Pepper Boxing, all while still reassuring the individuals that they would be paid for the time the committed to training. After choosing trainers who would be hired to train at Pepper Boxing, Alexander Kaufmann and Chase Pickett both decided to go against the word they so adamantly stated during several trainings and did not compensate individuals who were not asked to stay with Pepper Boxing as trainers despite the time, energy and money they dedicated to Pepper Boxing with the understanding that they would be paid so long as they did not choose to quit. When I reached out to Alexander Kaufmann and Chase Pickett regarding compensation, Alexander as the owner, did not have enough dignity to respond to my e-mails or text messages. Chase Pickett had enough decency to reply to my e-mails after having to text him, and he blatantly ignored the fact that he personally reassured me of payment to follow Alexander's decision to bring me on as a trainer at Pepper Boxing in Atlanta. Alexander Kaufmann and Chase Pickett are under the impression that the training they provided individuals is valuable enough to take to other organizations without recognizing the fact that neither or them teach anything that could be applied anywhere other than Pepper Boxing. They aren't even teaching their members the PROPER BOXING punches.

And I would highly recommend him to anyone. I'm 69, average build, no body builder type to be sure! And I've found Joey to be always good natured, very careful and attentive to my particular needs. He makes it his top priority to not hurt me, I.e. to not have me doing things that could hurt my body, such as by me overdoing it or by him being too ambitious. He has a very gradual approach or program for increasing strength. Joey is focused on technique and skills that I also can also take home with me. He's well educated about the body and all kinds of exercises and is able to be creative in how to applies them to my program. He's totally dedicated, and it's obvious he is thinking between sessions about my needs and how to improve the workout or training. One thing I like is that Joey isn't just some strong guy but has his own story of rebuilding strength from a low point and figuring it all out with the help of various trainers. His insights are professional, personal, and creative. Steve B
