Please read all the fine print at least twice. The extra fees are a real limiting factor to this being an enjoyable experience. After the first belt test, you are almost required to sign up for a 3 year obligation. We didn't and then you are kind of in limbo. Even after we informed them by phone that we weren't going to continue a month into our contract, we knew we had to pay out the first 6 month commitment. However , they continued to charge us for months and once we realized it, they informed us that we had to inform them in writing, which was in the fine print. NEVER AGAIN!!! READ, READ READ!!!

They DO NOT practice what they teach. Hundreds of hidden dollars. Unless your child excels in the program they do not want any thing to do with those students. They really don't deserve the one star rating....

I enrolled my 4 yr old son in the Karate program last summer and he absolutely loves it! Since he has been in the Lil Dragon's class, he continues to feel confident learning Karate, while basic social skills such as respect, responsibility and kindness, etc, are reinforced. Sensei Amy; who is very structured, has a good rapport with the students and she often promotes them to be leaders in the class. Be sure to compare with other Karate places, because rapport makes a big difference. I've seen some instructors at other places who seem to be less child friendly and too hard/rough on the students.

Awesome karate classes for Adults. Great workout for fitness and weight loss and super traditional karate program.

Be leery of all the hidden costs associated with this Dojo and the contract that you are required to sign for 3 years. Weapons, uniforms, tournaments and testing for next belt are all additional charges that you will have to pay for in addition to the contract with will add up to well over 4000.00. If you stop taking your child you are still responsible for payment according to the contract, this information is not divulged in the interview with Clint Green and all tournaments must be paid in CASH.

I would caution any parent against entering into a contract with this or any other martial arts studio for an extended period. Childrens' interests change and while the dojo and martial arts instruction may be appealing to your child right now, it may not be 18 mos. later. Look for a program that will allow you to enter into short term contracts and renew. Also, make sure you ask for a detail listing of all costs of instruction including weapons and testing fees. Be sure to get a copy of everything you sign. Make sure the contract price includes all fees you are responsible for paying. Look out for tournament fees which can add an additional 100-200 or more to your cost every year. I found Green's to be very misleading by not providing full disclosure with respect to the costs involved. I rated this one star because I had to give it a rating in order to submit this review. Stay away!!!!

Our two children, Anna & Matthew, have been students of the dojo for over 5 years Anna has earned her 1st degree Black Belt and Matthew has earned his Junior Black Belt Anna is an overachiever who excels at school, at home and at the dojo and is a true testament of how a karate student should be Matthew has learned self discipline, respect, self control and accountability and is expected to demonstrate these qualities at home, in school and at the dojo The atmosphere at the dojo is one of family and friends and our children have become better individuals since coming to Green's Martial Arts - Danny & Lisa Montgomery
