While Moti Horenstein seems to have an ability to hire instructors that are well versed in the martial arts, the purpose and meaning behind the martial arts has been lost in Moti himself. I have personally trained with Moti at his facility and the focus seems to be more about him making money, and his selfish pursuits regardless of who he has to step on to get there, versus the martial arts. I've witnessed him steal and hide another instructor's black belt and trophies because of personal arguments, with the promise of the items being returns only if the instructor ?kept his mouth shut?. Changing of billing companies as to be able to dodge loan payments, and double charge students to increase the float in his bank account, which later gets refunded months later only after he's collected the interest. As an adult I can accept certain things as ""business practices"", but as a martial artists, especially from someone who is instilling discipline and honor onto children, I would never train or recommend this individual or his schools to anyone.
Pros: The instructors are well qualified and liked by the students
Cons: The owner, Moti Horenstein.
