Mike Storms' Karate

Mike Storms karate has been the best change I could have made for my son! He is an only child and since he has joined he has bloomed socially! He can't wait to walk in the door to see his friends and learn. Most fun but structured environment for him to grow in. My son loves a good challenge but has trouble with "not getting something the first time", and. The instructors at Mike Storms karate are so patient and encouraging to help him get past this feeling. He is accelerating in other points in his everyday life from school to everyday attitude and even being more of a leader and taking control of things to get them done. more

Decent kindergarten karate center but look elsewhere if you can't tolerate the d-bag man-child owner who thinks he's a celeb. Okay, so maybe he's cool to a 4 - 5 yr old. Other than that, this is clearly not the place to go to learn martial arts... (1) bc this place is just a kindergarten karate center and (2) well, you wouldn't be learning karate if you wanted to have any chance defending yourself. Have you ever seen a karate fighter attempt a career in the UFC? 99% of the time they stand in their silly "horse stance" and you feel really sorry for the guy when they instantly get pummeled. The other 1% of the time they run away from their opponent until they inevitably get caught and pummeled... and you feel even more embarrassed for them. This well documented fact makes it even more difficult to look at Mike Storms with a straight face when he's try to convince you he's a badass... lol more

Be careful. This place and sensai is costing me my marriage. He pushed his church on my partner. Lots of addl fees. I don't know my partner anymore. Thanks!! more

They say when searching for a karate school, to search for one that is around the NORMAL amount you would pay on an average per month, which is around $100. You can call 5 other karate schools in the Covignton/Mandeville area and ALL are around that price. So why does MIke Storms charge nearly $200 a month per child? And if you want to become "Black belt leadership"(which they continuously push on you) it's even MORE!? Mike Storms IS a very good salesman, and that's what he does for a living, sells parents karate $200+ a kid! You MUST sign a contract with them, which is something that most karate places do NOT make you do..EVER! They say it's to keep the child in the program, so they do better themselves, but it's a gimmick, just so he can get your money, and keep getting it, without a doubt! With Mike Storms karate, your paying for the name and nothing else, my children could have gotten much more out of ANY other karate school, but it's my own fault for choosing the scam artist. :,-( You won't see very much of MIke Storms in the dojo, he doesn't even teach the students. VERY RARELY will he step on the mat. When he does come around, it's with his FAKE SMILE, and will ACT interested in how everyone's doing. He CAN be funny and sometimes VERY RARELY seems down to earth. I don't want to seem ugly about the place. Sensei Eric and Sensei Warren ARE about the only thing worth going for.But that's not why we're going. They ARE so very polite and caring, upbeat and a world of fun for the kids! They know though, they know what a SHYSTER Mike Storms is! I apologize for the amount feedback it is I have, However I was dealing with a karate school that seemed to be quite a money scam. The kids would be running around goofing off, the students were being taught by students as well, never by the master himself, we would rarely see him in the dojo at all. There were always promotional gimmicks to get even more money out of you and basically we just wanted a real true school for our children! more
