Karate America - Miramar

My son had confidence issues and experienced bullying at school. The karate school has helped him tremendously with his confidence. The black belt attitude taught at the karate school has helped him be better prepared to deal with bullying. Also, he has made new friends.

Summary: This is a franchise called Karate America, they have multiple locations, the classes were motivational and they are great, but they work with a business model where they charge for everything and are not 100% transparent about it. Details: we took the "offer" $600 for 2 clases per week for 3 months, but to achieve the Black Belt it is mandatory you need to purchase another package, also, you can only use the equipments they sell and every month the kids get a "promotion" that you will need to pay $75 (unless you get another package). When they do their presentation they use the "Seller" method, where they offer crazy prices and then start showing more affordable options to make you feel that is the deal that you wanted (they do this with everybody, same method), that is part of a seller strategy, also, they do the presentation if both parent are present (that is also their strategy to have more chances to close the deal), trying to commit you for the next YEARS with them. My personal experience was after 3 month I didn't know how much it was going to cost to continue the program. All the bad reviews about this company are similar to this one, you can check some others locations.

My son started with Karate America at age 4. Two years later he’s well on his way to earning his black belt and is proud to be a part of the Karate America family. The instructors are phenomenal and demonstrate a passion for martial arts. In addition to karate, they instill discipline and respect in the children. We’re very pleased with the progress our son has made since joining Karate America and would absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Our family has been part of the Karate America Monarch Lakes family since 2020. My daughter did an online seminar with Mr Rey at the start of the pandemic and we were very impressed with his positivity and his approach to teaching self defense as well as life lessons. Our children have not only gained physical strength but also emotional growth in terms of gaining belief in themselves towards building a successful future self. The instructors place emphasis on setting goals and working hard towards earning them. Nothing is given, you have to work hard to earn what you want!

My warrior family we can’t thank you enough for motivating, encouraging, and teaching us so many things. Thank you for your hard work and dedication around the clock. Thank you for being our mentors, family and friend. Well worth the investment (time) Warrior team you guys rock! For me and my family we are WARRIORS!
