Ata Karate University, Charlotte

Their Groupons are scams. It says specifically you get a certain amount of sessions and an expiration date but they WILL NOT honor it. They require you to use all of your sessions in one month. Then the big. Ills start. There is nothing respectful, honorable, or formed in integrity about this organization. Ask around-you'll here it everywhere.

Terrible experience. They only offer this Groupon to get you in the door to upsale you to monthly membership. Their membership is over $150 per month with a minimal contract of 12 months. Very disappointed and far too expensive.

We have really enjoyed watching the children grow from their experience here. Great for building self confidence and encouraging children to do their best.

The staff is friendly, but not very organized at all. I had issues with scheduling my birthday party, due to a lack of communication between the staff. The event was great, the kids had an awesome time and my son was excited to come back for his trial class. After scheduling our 1:1 trial class, we were asked to reschedule and when I wrote back with a preferred date, I never heard back from them again. This location (Highland Creek) could definitely benefit from having someone dedicated specifically to scheduling appointments, practices and taking calls so they can operate in a more professional and organized manner. Keeping schedules is very important to moms and dads who are always multi-tasking and juggling their kid(s) schedules.
