Greg Moody's Karate for Kids program is a ripoff. We signed our child up for the initial several weeks after which began a constant barrage from staff asking us to sign contracts. We did sign a contract with the understanding that, should our child no longer enjoy karate, we would be released from the contract.
The staff constantly — often weekly — asks parents into private "sessions" to discuss their "balance." Or they want you to buy more and more equipment, weapons, extra classes, uniforms — it's neverending! Even when you pay monthly for the lessons, they never tell you when you sign up that you have to pay $70 every third month for graduation!
I explained time and again that my child could do karate for as long as I could afford it, and he enjoyed it.
In late February, my child decided he really wanted to swim. I contacted the karate for kids staff at the North Campus and was given a phone number of the credit services to discontinue automatic withdrawals. I was explicitly told that was all I needed to do. Now, several months later, they claim we still owe them money — even though our child has not participated in karate since February!
BUYER BEWARE — Karate for Kids is a moneymaking scam — My other children will certainly never paricipate in Greg Moody's Karate for Kids.
