Vision Martial Arts

Welcome to the "Time Share" of Martial Arts, they don't display prices in their website nor they tell you the price before taking the trial class.Received a long message about how they supposedly "don't try to sell you anything" yet they give you something to go check-out and only after they'll tell you the price, just like a time share and a non honest system.Just in case you are wondering, prices start at $180/month. Go anywhere else, every other studio gives you free trials and prices upfront.I was literally told to go to the YMCA for less expensive classes and less quality of instruction, IMAGINE IF THAT'S THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A NEW COSTUMER!

We signed up for a trial class. Our kid was over excited to try but was not accepted because he wasn't focused enough and kept adding his own moves. OK, Im not gonna lie. My son has a flair for being loud and dramatic, but I thought it's what over excited 4 year old boys do? He cried when he was rejected and not getting one of the uniforms that everyone else had. Who does that to a 4 year old anyways? One of our family members is a 4th degree black belt and olympic TKD qualifier, and was horrified when we told him our kid was not focused/didnt listen well enough for the 4-year old intro TKD trial class. He said, isn't that what they're supposed to teach him? Ummm... I guess not.

First, the student and instructor ratio is not good. About 12-15 students age from 6-8 and one instructor and another to help correct the positions as the class continues. I wasn't very happy about it but I think the studio is trying their best. Maybe they could not find enough instructors that fit their criteria. The main instructor does not have the most clear speaking and his voice is low. The result is that I have to pay close attention to understand his instructions. Not how the little ones can follow up. I see my son usually just follows what other kids are doing instead of hearing and responding to the instructions. These are red flags. Now I think of it, I should have talked to the studio about these concerns. But I did not. What was really upsetting and surprising to me is that one day the main instructor talked to me about my son's inattention and disruptive behaviors and stated that if he doesn't improve, they will remove him from the class. I was a bit shocked. My son is like most 6 years old active boy, who is not best at following the instructions in a big class. However, this is their first attempt to "help" him. Yet, it came with a warning/threat, if he doesn't improve, he will be removed from the class. I can think of several ways to support him. 1. We could position him in the first of three rows of students, making sure he could hear clearly and get frequent eye contact from the instructor to help him to stay focused. 2. We could reduce the class size or increase the green belt helpers who can assist in helping the kids to learn the moves and stay focused. 3. The studio could at least talk to parents about how to support the student ONCE before threatening that they are going to remove him from the class. I'm really disappointed. My son loves martial arts and wants to learn. He does struggle with attention, like a lot of 6 years old. But I think he deserves a little more support than what the studio is providing. This feedback is directed toward the silver creek campus. Not sure how other campuses are doing. I'm going to try to talk to the instructor and see if it will help to solve the problem. I will come back to edit my review if the result restores my confidence in this place.
