The experiences that are provided in the review about an Expensive Exercise Class and Do Your Homework are the polar opposite of what my family and I have encountered in Mike Storms Karate program. The program teaches self defense skills to students--both children and adults. The goal is to learn how to defend oneself through the use of common sense before having to actually use karate on a person. Master Storms is available and interjects his teaching into the classes. However, the program is also about developing leadership skills and controlling one's attitude. The best way to do that in any educational setting is to provide opportunities for the students to become leaders and instructors. Therefore, Master Storms has provided opportunities for students who have attained the rank of black belt to teach the classes using the skills taught by Master Storms. It does not matter what profession one is in--if the boss is always doing the leading, the students (and employees in other professions) will not learn how to be a leader. The growth in my son in terms or maturity and becoming a leader has been phenomenal due to the structure of the program.
My experience with the contract has been simple. I was told that it was a three year contract at so much per month. It has never changed. Additional opportunities in the leadership college, kids pizza night, summer camp, and parenting classes all carry an additional fee. However, I prefer it that way rather than having costs built into the fee structure that my family may not use.
This is a quality program that provides positive growth opportunities for children especially. I regret that not all people are satisfied, but that is life. For me, the lives of my family have been immensely enriched by the Mike Storms Karate program.
