Vision Black Belt Academy Llc

My husband started taking classes at Vision in 2007. He started with the martial combat class, then started the tae kwan do class. I started taking classes almost 18 months ago and have had no problems with this academy. I have some physical limitations set by my doctor and the instructors are glad to work with this. Graduations are based on the number of classes you have taken (you must attend at least 20 classes to be eligible) and your ability to do the work. If you can't do the form, one step, or board break that is required you do not graduate, but can try again at a later time. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ill-informed. I have seen students, even favored black belts, not graduate because they didn't do the work right. Graduation is also done on an individual basis. Signing up does include a contract, however I have never had my issues with my instructors in this area. When it looked like I needed to stop attending due to an injury, they worked with me. I've watched the kids' classes and adult classes. The format is very different between the two. Each is tailored to the needs of the age-group attending. I would not recommend classes for children under 5 as even the childrens' classes tend to go to fast for them. Overall, I highly recommend this martial arts academy. Pros: good instruction, full schedule of classes Cons: large class size, more

I signed up for a 3 year program, it turns out it is a 3 year contract. Deficient service, after 18 months my son cannot do a single form by himself, he can do it only by seeing someone do it. From 60 to 6 years everybody are in one class, mostly being taught by peers, not by a certified trainer. They are linked with ASF International which is a national cheat with a F rating from Better Business Burueu and also no longer a member of Better Business Burueu. I read a lot about how big a cheat ASF is. So whatever the reason never get into a contract with Vision Black Belt Academy which will somehow link you to ASF and you are bound to them. They dont care about the students and training and only about the contract and how to extract money from the students. They hand out a belt for $60 one a month, they dont care if the student is eligible or not, they call you only if there is a graduation is coming up for the money. Even if the student does not attend the whole month they will still give you a belt saying they are ready. Deficient service, suspect association with ASF. Cons: Everything more

There is a lot of pressure on parents and students to bring new business. There is a lot of hype in so called 'Leadership Program'. No serious testing. Just fluff. Everyone is part of the leadership program. No speical skills needed. The leadership prorgram is $5000 and with 2.5years contract which you cannot break unless you are ready to loose the money. Class sizes are so big so no individual attention given to your child. Also, if you decline to sign for leadership program, the instructors make you feel like you are worst parent on the earth, and we don't care for our kids. \r Pros: location Cons: class size, pressure more
