Yes my daughter had been attending this place for probably over 2 years and I had been asked if I…read morewanted to join so I said what the heck. I came in on a Sunday which is open mat where the owner is not there. I then made the choice to "roll someone who may or may not be on the payroll but is teaching students nonetheless. I had gotten myself into a kimora and this "coach" as they call him did not stop when told to stop or when I tapped on him and said stop which is how martial arts works. 2 seconds later the exact same thing happened only on the other arm and as I say tap and I'm tapping on this guy all he does is twist harder. I confront the owner later when he comes back in and have a long talk. He says that I should have a talk with this person and work it out with him. Needless to say I'm left with two damaged elbows and myself wondering why I'm supposed to confront this guy who clearly has a whole lot of disrespect at least for me on his mind. I don't think it would be right for me to have a conversation with a person who clearly doesn't want to have conversation only wants to twist arms until damage is done. If I was doing something wrong I certainly wasn't being told such. Never would have go beyond that which is a tap or a verbal tap as this guy did. Great place until I had to put myself into the mix. My daughter was learning how to grapple which is all that I wanted. This guy told me how he was the met enforcer for the owner and the owner denied it. Also told me how he used to break people's arms and legs when he was in the martial arts academy that used to be a few doors down. I guess I should have listened to him and never put myself with him. I enjoyed the experience until I got with him. The agenda he had is the agenda he had I can't speak for him. Because my elbows aren't healing I would give zero Stars. I've been forced to give a star.

Its remarkable children's curriculum has brought our daughter through over a decade of wonderful training, and helped to provide so many different positives on various aspects of her development as a human being, at an age when she needs self-confidence, and turning that to both empathy and helping others learn has it just top shelf in my wife's and my opinion. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot, regardless of your age, or your experience, or your physical training/or lack thereof, like myself. I started and joined in with my daughter in my mid-50's a little over a year ago, and I've found so many things to make me glad I did, and didn't just dismiss my age as a given for decline. I'm boxing, as well as doing other martial arts training and loving every minute of it. See ya there! Jason S.

I completed my 6-week challenge at TKM under Coach Erik. While I didn't lose all of the weight I…read morewanted (I like the vino a bit too much), I crushed my earlier sit-up, push-up, and squat baselines that we did at the beginning. Coach Erik is fantastic, knowing just how much to push the class and individual. He's encouraging and patient. But he doesn't let you slack off. Dr. Gunther was also helpful in getting a diet plan for me. Since I completed the 6-week challenge, I'm now doing the Cardio Kickboxing class. If the last time you did a sit-up was when your evil coach in HS who mocked you in front of the football team told you to do one, then the 6 week challenge is a perfect intro into the more advanced classes. Coach Erik doesn't play around in the CKB classes! Also looking forward to doing Krav Lvl 1 classes as well. Finally maybe it was just a fluke, or maybe Molotov hires really good coaches, but the 6 week challenge class really gelled together and several of us are friends now on Facebook. I think that has a lot to do with the coach and the atmosphere of the gym. Highly recommend to my fellow mid-40's overweight IT workers out there. #beastmode!

I signed up for the 6 week challenge and decided one day later that I wanted to back out of it. The…read moreinitial meeting was a manipulation to get people to sign up and pay them a check of over 500$. Per NC law, you are allowed to back out of this kind of agreement within 3 days of the initial sign up. I tried to back out and was stonewalled on the phone and subsequently treated with hostility by Molotov's wife, Greer when I went into the club in person. They refused to refund me and I ended up just cutting my losses rather than fight them on it. I have no doubt they are excellent Krav Maga instructors but if you prefer to spend your limited time on this earth meeting good people rather than snakes and bullies, you should consider a different club.

I was injured in Glenn's class by a mistake of another student, Glenn had plenty of private and in class sessions with me, where I trained with him directly and with another instructor. During my experience with Glenn after injury, he searched my property and belongings while I was training, he insulted me, and he overcharged me for products. Not only did Glenn break the law, he also changed his narrative when I inquired about insurance for the injury I endured. Glenn initially encouraged my training and complimented me, he met my family and grandfather who saw us training together, as soon as I inquired about other insurance information/injury liability issues, Glenn decided to call me mental. My parents found out about this and encouraged me to sue him. Glenn also agreed to forward information to the founders of Systema that I had preorganized as a courtesy to them. He lied and kept it for himself. Glenn also searched through my phone while asking me to face the wall and do an exercise, I turned around and caught him browsing my phone. Our family invited Systema in our home, my doctors encouraged my training for recovery with my ACL tear, and in the end Glenn cowered with insults and discrimination. https://easternnc.app.bbb.org/complaint/view/11147125/c/h99t9c Glenn will not succeed in holding his faulty business, or in censoring individuals he has directly wronged. 0/5 stars, needs to be banned.

And get this, they learn the Korean language as well: numbers, greetings, and phrases to show respect. The teachers and Master Kim are incredibly patient with and encouraging to the students, my wild bunch included. I highly recommend this school to any and all who are interested in studying Taekwondo.

I've been taking Paul Sobin's Continuing Basics series for about 6 months, and this review is…read morepurely about this series. I'm very new to yoga. There are free classes at my school, but I feel like you need a certain level of understanding of the poses before going to those classes. I'm the kind of person that would feel VERY uncomfortable mimicking the poses in class without learning the ABCs first, just for the sake of feeling sore afterwards. I'm also uncomfortable when the teachers talk way too much about their spiritual journey. I respect other people's spirituality, but when it's hovering over the ENTIRE CLASS, it can be very distracting. Paul Sobin solves both of my problem. In the class we would move from pose to pose, but he'd always mention the mistakes easily made. So when I'm doing the pose, even when he's not nearby to correct me, I could still keep in mind what to avoid. He offers a sweet mix of the physical and spiritual practice. For example when we start the slow breathing at the beginning of class, he'd mention how life is always busy and stressful, and it's good to take just a couple minutes to breathe slow and deep to give yourself a bit peace of mind. I really appreciate this. The series are pretty flexible - if you can't make it to the class you signed up for, you can do a make-up with any other series class Paul/ Sommer teach. Whatever leftover classes you haven't used in this series can be carried over to the next one. Students get a discount, which comes to $10 per class. This is quite an investment compared to the free gym, but I'd be happy to skip a weekend drink for this. People seem very nice, chill, and friendly as well. They also offer a week of classes free before the start of the series. The only con I can think of so far: The class can be crowded, to the point that the distance between you and the next mat is half a mat's width. Come 10 mins early to secure a good spot.
