Our linage begins with Bruce Lee, the original advocate of MMA and the world’s most popular martial artist. Lee was the 1960’s teacher to Joe Lewis, the legendary undisputed American heavyweight kickboxing champion. Lewis, in the 1980’s taught Dr. Jerry Beasley (8th dan Joe Lewis Black Belt) a world renowned and published expert on the methods of both Lewis and Lee.

Lee, Lewis and Beasley are among the elite few to have been inducted by popular vote into the prestigious and exclusive Black Belt magazine Hall of Fame.

My seven year old son expressed a desire to learn karate. I myself am a long time martial arts…read morepractitioner and instructor in several different systems. Most of what I practice and teach however does not lend itself to children, nor does it involve traditional uniforms and class structure. With this in mind I thought that it would be best for my son to learn in a different , structured environment with peers his own age. I took him to Mr Peterson's school. We were greeted by Mr Peterson himself and he was very warm and welcoming. He told us that the first month is free and that my son was welcome to attend at our own schedule. We started the next week. I took him to two classes, both personally taught by Mr Peterson, and was impressed by how good the class was structured for children, the enthusiasm of the sensei, as well as the legitimacy of the material presented. I had truly thought that I had found the perfect dojo for my son to train. On our third visit however, a small child was behaving in quite an unruly manner. The child did not respond to verbal redirection attempts by the instructor. I was certainly expecting the screaming child to be removed to a quiet area for a timeout. What I was not expecting however was for the child to be told that since his behavior was so bad he would be losing his yellow belt, which only caused the kid to escalate even further. At this point one of the black belts rushed over, picked the child up, and took him over to a corner in what appeared to be a very forceful manner. Once in the corner, the child was placed on his back as the adult attempted to remove the yellow belt. The child fought back but was easily overpowered by the adult. The child's belt was removed and replaced with a white belt. The child continued to scream and attempted to remove the belt, which was tied on even tighter. A joke was made at the end of class about how tight this particular individual could tie a belt. I was truly in shock at what I witnessed, as a parent of a special needs child, as a martial artist, and as a mental health professional with over 23 years experience in the field. The child certainly needed to be removed to a quiet area but not in a manner which bordered on abuse. My son will not be going back.

The quality of the gym itself is great, but their business practices are sleazy…read more Think first before signing the contract. You are charged on the 5th of every month, so naturally you would think that as long as you cancel your membership before then - you aren't forced to pay for a month. Even if that is the case, you'd think it would be possible to get a refund for the month you aren't going to use. This is not the case. They stand by the "fine print" in their contracts which most people probably don't read (it is a gym membership, we are not purchasing property here). The manager told me that they deal with this issue (angry people requesting refunds, bank disputes, etc.) every month, and they blame the customers - not their policy. What's worse is - in my case - I attempted to cancel the membership in person before the end of the month, my number was taken down, and I was told I would receive a call from the manager when he was back. I did not receive a call, so I called back on the 2nd of the following month. The manager was still not in, so they took my information down again and finally I received a call on the 3rd to cancel the membership. I was not told that I would still be charged, and that I wouldn't receive a refund. I'm now having to deal with my bank to dispute the charge for services I canceled and will not be using, and I was essentially called a liar when I brought up the fact that I attempted to cancel the membership at the end of the month.
