I have been at Z for about 5 years, started when I was about 8. At first, it was absolutely…read moreincredible. Up until about 3 1/2 months ago, I thought it was the best dojo in the world, because it really was great. Sensei Kaz was dedicated, kind, disciplined, fun but strict when needed. He was the best instuctor you could possibly ask for. About 3 1/2-4ish months ago, right before a tournament, the masters stripped him of his position at the dojo. They moved him away and stripped one of his belt ranks and replaced him with Master Clark's daughter. They did this with no explanation to the parents or the students and when asked they said that Sensei Kaz was doing "advanced training" at the Northgate dojo, but it has been over 3 months and he still is not back. I thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. At the tournament, I saw Sensei Kaz looking worse than I had ever seen him, sad, lonely, and missing a belt rank and his instructors uniform. For no reason whatsoever, he was stripped of his certification, his dojo, and a belt rank. To add insult to injury, Sensei Hannah, the woman who took over for Sensei Kaz, made multiple changes to the dojo, disrupting students routine. She canceled the demonstration team at the dojo, she canceled the instructor program where students get to shadow and learn the process of being an instructor, she combined the teens and adults classes on Saturday, and she completely changed the class structure. Not only that, but she also made multiple price increases. Needless to say, I am switching dojo's and would no longer recommend Z. It used to be a great dojo, but now it has turned into a money farm and a belt factory. They used to prioritize students, now they prioritize a quick buck and it all changed in a week, surely shows how much they care about the well-being of their students. If you value proper training, useable skills, and earning your belts, I do not recommend. If you want to pay an arm and a leg for basic training plus an extra fee for belt tests just so that you can be pumped through with everyone else to increase another persons profit, then go right ahead and sign up. So sad to say this because Z really was the best part of my life for so long, but none of the instructors at that dojo care anymore, the only of who gave a crap about the students was Sensei Kaz and he was removed for just that. If you do choose to sign a contract with Z, good luck. By the way, Sensei Hannah is not the problem, she is actually verry nice, a little annoying with the amount of times she calls about minute things, but nice. It's the way the dojo in general is treating people, including their long standing instructors.

He helped me with self-defense modalities to bring confidence so that an assault will not happen to me again. He was very respectful of my boundaries and sensitivities from my assault. He always approached me in such a gentle manner while also teaching me very helpful skills in getting away from and defending myself if ever attacked. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn skills that are helpful in building confidence in your surroundings around you.

This was an outstanding class!…read more Dave and Rob did an excellent job! You can never train the fundamentals too much. Even very experienced shooters will get some points from this class and become better. I have been an instructor and have received professional training for almost 20 years. Dave and Rob are among the best trainers I have ever seen. They take time to identify specific ways they can coach and help each student, and then present information and coaching in an encouraging, supportive way. They create a fun, productive training environment which encourages people to try new things and see what works for them. They are very respectful, use good natured humor and will definitely take you from wherever you are and help you get better. That is the hallmark of excellent instructors! Take this class. Regardless of how good you are. You'll get better!
