    catching waves left & right @ PISC!

    My family & I were visiting the Gulf Coast (Port A) from New Jersey and decided to sign our son up for surf camp while we were there. Our son is 8 and had never surfed before. After the group instruction and practicing a bit on land the kids hit the water in their small groups (broken down by age) with their instructor. My son's instructor Keith was amazing. The children in my son's group were literally riding every wave to shore with confidence. The camp was very organized allowing the kids lots of time in the water but also time for rest (to apply more sunscreen and have a snack) I also appreciated how much the instructors emphasized safety in the water. I HIGHLY recommend this camp and my son cannot wait to visit again so he can go back. If your children want to learn to surf this is the place to go!!!

    If you're looking for a quality martial arts dojo, this is not the place. The drama began in…read moreDecember 2024 when the owner, Mark, abruptly fired his senior instructor--someone who had stood by him for over 20 years. When asked why, Mark simply said, "He cost the dojo money." That decision triggered a mass exodus. Nearly all of his black belts quit. The few who stayed did so only because they were on the payroll (spoiler alert!). The fallout didn't stop there. Mark began transforming CCFMA into a full-blown McDojo, with every executive decision focused solely on maximizing profits--even if it meant sacrificing training quality. With the experienced students gone, the level of instruction declined sharply. Combine that with a profits-over-people mindset, and it's clear this dojo is crumbling. To make matters worse, the owner has been displaying increasingly erratic behavior. He now spends more time ranting to parents about former staff than he does actually training students. He's slandered loyal instructors with easily disproven lies and shown a complete lack of professionalism. The final straw came just last week when Mark fired his business manager of seven years without warning. That same evening, he publicly disparaged her in front of a full class. It was a bridge too far. His last remaining instructor walked out, unwilling to continue supporting the deception. And now? As of this writing, when 6:00 pm rolls around, the dojo sits empty. Mark--the so-called Grand Master--doesn't even show up to fulfill his obligations. He's left his students to fend for themselves. DO. NOT. GO. HERE. UNDER. ANY. CIRCUMSTANCES.

    I was under the assumption that martial arts is about focus and discipline, strength and great…read morecharacter, that's not the case at this establishment. The instructors seemed impatient and unwilling to work with struggling members. This place lacks the moral integrity that would expect from materials arts, I would look for another place if you want the WHOLE child to grow and learn from the lessons.
