Japan Shotokan Karate Association

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!!! The owner is a FAT SCAM ARTIST who talks and plays more than teaches martial arts! He sells our kids candy and junk food and tries to rip us off with fake yearly insurance as well as other fees. I asked around to some other NY karate teachers who knew him and not a one had anything good to say! He says he was on the US karate team which is a lie! He said he is a professor of sports science and medicine and whatever he chooses to say based on the day of the week,all a lie! I say this all from experience because, unfortunately, my child is still going because he likes the only one there who actually teaches and isnt out of shape! besides the fact that we are locked into a yearly contract. as soon as my contract is up i am turning and running and so are quite a few of the other disgruntled parents. I wish the guy who teaches most of the classes would open his own school. he actually cares about the students and they leave sweating and happy actually having learned something. dont trust his fake smile one bit! hes a con man.
