My son signed up for Taekwondo with ATC MARTIAL ART CENTER in CORONA, CALIFORNIA. At first he loved it and worked his way up to "brown" belt. However after 2 years he decided he wanted to play other sports, since he was only 7 years old I told him that he had to pick up one. He choose the other sport. I called up atc martial art center (k. Spillmann)& ATC BILLING SERVICE (Grandmasters wife Joanne Blair/Spillmann) told them the story, they said I had to put the request to cancel in writing which I did.
2 weeks later I received a call stating you have to give a THREE MONTH written notice to cancel and since I didn't I had to pay over $400 even though my son wasn't attending. I again explained the situation and said he's only 7 years old and most children don't know what they are doing tomorrow how can I plan the next 3 months. K. Spilmann & Joanne who owns this studio did not care... in stead I got a lecture of how as a parent I should make my son stay till the end... Black belt. I went back and forth with them for a few weeks, I said I didn't have a problem paying for ONE MONTH which is over $130, but not all THREE months, they didn't care.
Almost one year later I received a letter from an attorney in the mail demanding the $400 plus dollars or they will be sending me a judgement against me! Really, so my 7 year old son decides he no longers wishes to attend Taekwondo after 2 years and this is how my family is treated! BEWARE before you join this Martial Art studio. There are many other Martial art places you could go to! Don't have the HELL I have had and continue to have with ATC martial art center. K. Spilmann &Joanne will smile and pretend to care about your child but believe me it's all an act!!!
