Recently signed my teen up for an ATA class. I did WTF when I was a kid and really benefited from it. Right out of the gate I’m thinking this school is a little sus. For one thing there are way too many black belts, none of whom would have been any better than a blue belt at the school I attended. There are a bunch of middle aged people who are 2nd and 3rd degrees who can’t kick above their waists and almost come across as beginners. The instructor, supposedly a 6th degree, is about 100 pounds overweight and has yet to impress me with her skills. The front desk person (also a black belt) is constantly in upsell mode. My kid could be Chuck Norris if she just signs up for more classes. The standard seems incredibly low and I highly expect this is just a racket to sell black belts to people. That said, my kid is enjoying herself (already an orange belt after barely a month) and is getting a confidence boost so I’m sticking with it for now.…
