We feel like this place had no structure and no discipline when it comes to teaching children about respect ✊ And on a note 📝 Mrs.Hill I would disagree with the way you handled me pulling my son out giving you our 60 days notice…there was no reason for you to be upset 😠 or should I have felt like I have done something wrong…People will come and go that’s just the way life goes wish them well and be professional about it!

Originally I had a good review on here because I believed that it was doing good for my son as you see in the pictures. My son got into too much trouble at school after paying $1,440 dollars for an entire year! We decided to put the account on hold. He has not attended any classes. I asked for a refund, and was told they do not do refunds when paid in full. I was also told that I would get a call from the owner have not at all recieved that said call. Regardless if I pay for a service and decide to cancel that service I should get my $1,440 back! Cancelation policy stated in the beginning was 60 days before you receive any refund. So now that is being retracted. Not only is it being retracted but also have not received any kind of confirmation that the account was canceled. I am extremely displeased with the rudeness I have recieved and the money I am now out because my son decided he did not want to continue. Personally, if you want to be out a lot of money, this is the place to go. But I would avoid ANY ATA and place your money at another martial arts place that will do much better at teaching your child.

We love this school! My son was almost ready to quit during the pandemic. Joining Lee's was the best decision we made. He made it to Black Belt in 7 months!I was so impressed, I started classes myself!

I wanted to get my daughter started in martial arts, learning, discipline, self defense, respect, having a schedule in addition to our normal schedule, keep her active, etc. This is a great place for all of those things and more. Ms. Hill is a great instructor, everyone there is great in helping people learn regardless of age. I personally have no complaints and am grateful for the sense of community and learning they provide.
