My first class I was completely nervous inside but it was all for nothing. The instructors are great in explaining techniques. Each lesson is done slow and in a very controlled environment.

My son (13 years old) attended this school for the last 7 years and excelled every step of the way…read moreearning his invitation to the weapons class and the "master's" class at the earliest allowed ranks. He was invited to become an assistant instructor early on and was even allowed to teach the younger student classes on his own early on. After he proved able to teach the younger kids class he was asked to assist older classes and eventually was allowed to teach those classes on his own. During staffing issues he was relied upon heavily to assist classes at 2 of the 3 locations when needed and rarely was he not able or willing to help. Over the course of his 7 year tenure at Kicking Tigers he made friends and created some strong relationships with other instructors and students which is why we held out for as long as we did before deciding to leave the school. We tolerated the owner discussing finances with the young students in a class setting. We bit our tongues when 20 minute speeches about finances and other inappropriate topics were given as students stood waiting patiently to receive their promotions. Even though most would agree that was a wildly unprofessional, disrespectful and inappropriate time to give such speeches (video evidence of this exists). When we were not told that our son would be promoted in a small back room away from the rest of the school we bit our tongues and chalked it up to an honest mistake. When the advanced "Flight" class changed from an advanced class for the higher ranks, to a 16 year old instructor's fitness hour we told our son to try his best or he didn't have to take the class if he didn't want to because it was a "free" class. When the main school became a glorified daycare where parents would drop off unruly children for class and not pick them up until much later and the instructors didn't do anything about the children disrupting classes we switched locations to avoid the issue. Every time we had an issue we brought it to the attention of instructors and staff and the most common response we were given was "Well that's just Master Hall and how he does things." Over the last year my son was constantly removed from taking the classes that I paid for and was made to assist instead, on top of being asked to come in on his off days to assist or teach classes to help cover staffing issues. Rarely was there ever a thank you given but they were more than happy to continue to accept my monthly payments even though my son wasn't able to participate in the classes that I was paying for because he was being removed and made to assist. The last straw was when the owner's son, a 2nd degree black belt and instructor/staff member, decided that it was OK to belittle and berate my son in front of the class he was assisting and the parents watching, calling him repeatedly an irresponsible black belt and an irresponsible instructor because he had not been signed up to get his picture taken for the school poster. When I pointed out that I was the reason he wasn't signed up and that the responsibility was mine, his response was "No it is his responsibility to make sure that you sign him up and bring him." My son gave me every announcement sheet and made me aware of everything that was going on at the school. I chose not to sign him up for pictures, the responsibility was my own. All of this was brought to the attention of one of the higher ranking instructors and staff members and at the very next class my son attended he was immediately pulled from the class I paid for him to take and made to assist. So we decided at that point our issues were not being taken seriously so we left mid class and a call was made after informing the school that my son would no longer be attending the school. Only to find out a couple days later that we were being bad mouthed by the owner in the staff group chat and zero accountability was taken for the berating and belittling of my son or how they took advantage of him as an assistant instructor by constantly pulling him from the classes I was paying for him to take.
