I took my child there for a birthday party. The child's whose birthday it was a member of the school. I became very irritated at the instructor's (David) persistence in using this opportunity to get kids signed up at his school. He went up to each parent NUMEROUS times asking them when they would like to schedule a free trial class. He also proceeded to tell the kids to make sure to tell their parents that they want to come back. At the end, he was walking around with his calendar book open and pressuring the parents to sign up their kids one last time. I would understand the sales tactic if I took my child to a trial class because I was looking to enroll them in a martial art. I think it was a total waste of money for the birthday child's parents to pay for a party that David used as a HIGH PRESSURE marketing opportunity. He might be an expert in his art, but he showed a true lack to class and judgment. I could never respect an instructor like him and would definitely not want him as someone who my child would have to look up to.
Pros: Parking, facility
Cons: Didn't approve of being pressured into signing up numerous times.
