My 12 & 13 year old's go to KSK.. They already had a lot of martial arts experience before they joined KSK. After they did their KSK trial, they asked me to buy it for them. When I asked why? They said the KSK teaches them to fight, they get to fight with actual resisting opponents. When you learn from Guro T.K. Nelson, there is no fluff. He teaches you to fight. It's all very useful, and they make the lessons a lot of fun! This place is great. Call them for a free trial class. It's free fun..:)

I practiced in KSK a few years ago.RECOMMENDATION: Do not subscribe for a year. If you are really interested in the school, try the classes at least for 2 good months before making longer commitments.THE GOOD: They have a diverse curriculum, the owner has good technique and knows his stuff. This is not a McDojo.MY BAD EXPERIENCE: I committed the mistake of registering for 1 year. Soon after my registration I started a Masters degree and was not able to attend the classes anymore. The owner didnt accept to cancel my subscription. The school had the option of private lessons, so I asked to get private lessons for the money I was paying, but he didn't accept. neither He was OK in just taking my money without offering other option in exchange. Also, I paid for shorts as part of the subscription but were never delivered.The classes of the program I registered to were not enough to call it a work out, the instructor said that you can get a workout by your own, and is true, but, I mean, this is martial arts! I expect any MA class to be the best workout; so if you are looking for a MA school that can also help you to get in shape, this may not be what you are looking for, unless you register for several hours per day or have time to workout by yourself.You will see really cool performances, keep in mind those may be just choreographies.

The instruction is good...and you can learn to defend yourself if you work hard. The people and atmosphere can be a little intimidating, as it can be a bit of a social clique. However, they are typically warm and welcoming to newcomers.Rising in the Ranks can be weird, as there is no traditional "Testings" just evaluations from the instructors to decide when they think you are ready to get moved up. Unfortunately those evaluations can come in the form of "Private lessons" with an instructor, and those can cost nearly as much as your monthly tuition.That said, The monthly prices are not terrible, however the 3 hour class schedule can daunting and hard to manage for busy people. Many pick and choose what they want to focus on, and just do those hours.I was here for over three years...learned some great application level knowledge to expand my martial arts.If you stay out of the social circle and focus on that martial arts, you will learn.Go for the martial arts, and stay for the martial arts.

They are not refunding my money. I have called them about 3 times now and every time the receptionist answers and informs that they can’t talk at the moment and will give a call back. The call back never came.
