He has learned the importance of respect and honor. Not only has my son learned, but I have as well. I don't feel like I am someone paying to have my child take a class, I feel as though I am part of a family with Mr and Mrs. Perez and even some of the other parents. Being a single mom of an extremely high maintenance child, I can only express that Karate has given him a different kind of confidence and a strong attitude all because of what goes on in a 45 min class that remains consistent. Kudos to Denison Family Karate Center!! Ms. Robbins

I can sum this business up in one word: McDojo. I'm honestly sad because I wanted to like this…read moreplace, not for myself but for my kids. Unfortunately instead of being a place of learning, like my husband experienced taking karate as a child here in Durant, it's nothing more than an expensive belt factory. I expected a monthly fee, not a problem. What is a problem is having children test for their next belt within two weeks ($60 per test) of even starting. They haven't even learned anything worth testing for in literally 3 hours of overall practice time. And then to be told to expect them to test every two months if not more..that's not how this works. There is no set time that they should be ready to test. If you go to a class and look around you will see tons of children running around with different colored belts. Very young children. And there are quite a few with black belts. If that isn't the biggest indication that this is a McDojo, I don't know what is. So basically unless you have money to blow so that your kids can run around and have fun, and a lot of closet space for their spiffy colorful belts, I'd skip this place.

This review is intended as a cautionary note to urge readers to avoid headaches and monetary loss…read more The information I am about to disclose was given to me by those involved, others with knowledge of this man, I experienced it while a member of his 6-Week Challenge, or found it in open sources on the internet. The owner of Tactical Krav Maga in Aubey claims to be Madrik Clay, but his real name is Larry Clay Lonis. He has used the following and other aliases: 1. Coach Clay 2. Tiger Clay 3. Clay Dux 4. LC Kravskie 5. Klay L'Honis 6. Klay L'Onis 7. Larry C. L'Onis 8. Larry L'Onis 9. Professor Moreh Yoneesh (2016, Amarillo, owned a Krav Maga school after leaving Grapevine) His story started in Lubbock a couple of decades ago when he operated a karate school and is said to have left town unexpectedly and with students' dues in tow. For some time in the 2010's, he was in Grapevine running his Monster X Camp, which later changed name to Reaction Fitness and Self-Defense, and where he offered Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing. REACTION FITNESS & SELF-DEFENSE - CLOSED - 13 Photos - 445 E Nortwest Hwy, Grapevine, TX - Yelp In January of 2016 he started a 6-week weight loss and fitness challenge, where participants who lost 20 lbs. would be reimbursed their fee and roll into the next 6-week session free of charge. Problems started quite soon. There was little equipment, gym remodeling never got completed and worse, trainers wouldn't last long on the job. At the end of the first 6-week session, several participants qualified for fee reimbursement but never received it. He was evasive or accused them of not qualifying, writing all this on social media for all other participants to see. He also bad-mouthed the trainers. With the 2nd 6-week session, many more people signed up, but by then training sessions were cancelled quite often and there was a general sense of mistrust toward anything he said or promised. Trainers complained about not getting paid or having payroll checks bounce. At least one trainer complained of receiving veiled threats from Larry, as did participants. Sometime in February or March, participants reported to the gym to find a locked, empty building. Cristin Severence, formerly with CBS in Dallas did an investigative report on him in 2016 regarding the 6-Week Challenge. https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/customers-we-lost-weight-money-at-bogus-fitness-boot-camp/ Larry moved to Amarillo where he opened his next Krav Maga school, which lasted only several months. He returned to Lubbock and found an investor to help him open a Krav Maga school; I'm told the investor sued him for breach of contract. In 2019 the court ordered Larry to pay back the investor, but he has paid less than 10% of the money owed. Somewhere about this time I heard he worked as a bouncer and also as a motorcycle salesperson. I'm told his claim to holding a 5th degree black belt in Krav Maga is false. At his current business, an individual who was hired to teach Karate at the Aubrey school left after facing the usual problems and promises, and opened his own school in a nearby city. Recent members have complained of charges continuing to be made to their cards after they quit the gym. Some of the businesses he has owned: 1. Tiger Martial Arts, Lubbock 2. Coach Larry Clay Ministries 3. MXC Keller (Monster X Camp) 4. Monster X Camp Grapevine 5. Amarillo Krav Maga, Amarillo 6. Krav Maga school, Lubbock 7. Tactical Krav Maga - Aubrey/Pilot Point, present I strongly suggest that you research this man before you pay him any money and certainly before you trust him with your debit or credit card information.
