    Do yourself a favor, cross shop other schools in the area before signing here. At first you will walk in and see words painted on the walls (integrity, respect, discipline). The staff will make you feel this is the place you want to bring your child to encourage them to succeed in the ************. After some time you will begin to notice cracks in that facade. The testing requirements at the school are nothing more than a formality. When a brown belt test is the same 2 minute test at the end of class that you gave your orange belts, there is a problem. The testing fees also escalate with each rank ($100's of dollars for higher ranks). For what? A test should be a full demonstration of all mental, physical, and technical abilities to earn a rank. Sandoval promotes anyone who can do 4 basic self defense in quick repetition, regardless of technique. The school does not participate in any education beyond basic punch, kick, a couple of self defense, and 1 Form. No weapons training, no tournament participation, no advanced techniques. When I approached staff about these concerns I was dismissed, including from ***** Sandoval. I would get 1 sentence response to email "we dont do that". He is absent most of the time from his own school.When you go to try and cancel your membership you will realize that within the fog of the initial impressions you failed to catch that the contract you signed is for 6 month commitment with an auto renew for additional 6 month commitments in perpetuity. And there are no exceptions. I asked the staff to have ***** Sandoval call me to discuss this, and was told "I will ask, but I doubt he will". The facade is real. ***** Sandoval has built a business on trapping clients into staying. You would think a man that preaches integrity would want to build a business on loyalty. This is the final crack. Do yourself a favor, look at other schools before falling for this sham.

Sandoval Freesytle Karate is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.

To become accredited, a business must agree to BBB Standards for Trust and pass BBB's vetting process.
