My daughter has been with Sensei Santaella and Miss Mary for about 3 years. They are very dedicated to the children! This is the real deal, not a Mickey mouse dojo trying to make some bucks from unsuspecting parents. Is so real, that they made my daughter the 2017 US national champion in kata! Go kogeki!

Everything started well when my brother started taking Karate classes at this place during the summer. Once school started I called the owner and told him that my brother won’t be taking the classes again and for him to remove my card information so he wouldn’t take the fees every month. For two months now he’s taken the money from my account after I specifically told him I would like to cancel since my brother wouldn’t be able to commit to the classes because of school. I really thought he was a serious person but he’s not. I called him and he told me to text him the last 4 digits of my card which I did. This is not right. Perfect example to never judge a book by its cover.
