I have been taking the class about a month. I was a former Defensive Tactics Instructor and Sensei Hush has taught me much more then I ever learned at the other. He is an outstanding professional in his art. The classes are affordable and most of all he is patient but you will earn your belt. I highly recommend House of The Bear .

My granddaughter, Gracee, attends House of the Bear with Sensai Dave Hush. (National and state champion)Gracee is learning self discipline, self defense, and it is helping her self esteem, getting her exercise, and she is loving it. Thank you for what you do, Sensai Dave

This man is a con artist who routinely stands up children for their appointments without any proactive explanation whatsoever. After multiple times not showing up for sessions, he refuses to refund the contract he violated, instead exercising the take me to court option.He reviewed himself twice in Google, giving himself five stars both times. Ask yourself who creates their own nickname and reviews themselves on Google Reviews.

I deleted my original post, because for the last month, Dave became unprofessional. He cancelled classes multiple times and cancelled my sons private lessons multiple times and the last time didnt even bother contacting me. He said hed give me my money back, but is now refusing. He claimed he was the only martial arts school in this town, which is a lie. My son now attends a better one and gets proper professional training.

My daughter has loved every second of this class. It has taught her humility, self control, and been a great boost to her self esteem and confidence. I have recommended this to many of my friends already.

Sensei Dave is wonderful with his students. I like the fact that not only is he teaching his students to protect themselves but along with that self respect, respect for the community.I highly recommend his school and his professionalism

Please look up the instructor’s (Dave Hush) record before enrolling your children. he is money hungry and won’t do right by your children. extremely disrespectful. claims to teach children discipline yet couldn’t handle a child running around. 0/10 do not recommend. if i could rate 0 starts this review would have -5.

The instructor, Dave Hush, is extremely unprofessional. He and his lady friend raced onto my private property (likely to dodge the cop who was right behind them). When asked to leave since he was trespassing, all he did was acknowledge that he was trespassing on private property. He proceeded to be rude, smoke, and act unprofessional. My young children were present with me to witness his behavior. As a parent, its terrifying to think people trust him with their kids!

Awesome self defense training, it could save a life someday.

Yelled at me in front of the class and other parents for my 4 year old running off the floor after only being in class 2 times prior. Refused to refund money for classes and ghee that was already paid for. I specifically asked if I had to buy the ghee right now in previous class and was told yes. I did not want to buy it before knowing if my child would remain in classes. Now he is kicked out and I have been refused a refund. DOES NOT HAVE PATIENCE FOR CHILDREN! UNPROFESSIONAL to speak to me the way he did in front of children and parents. I should have been told after the first free class that my child is not ready for these activities if he didn’t think he could handle teaching him.

We were there during this interruption. Time is a valued commodity. We do not put our children in class to watch other kids run on and off the floor, and tell the sensei no. Dave is a great sensei. If a child cannot sit still or follow instruction they are not ready for karate. By the way there are other 4 year olds in that same class.

The sensei name is Dave Hush (self reviews). I was looking to send child to facility until I looked up his court record and saw the reviews of business on google and peer review from previous parents. Be careful with who you trust and are giving your money to.

I pulled my son out of House of the Bear,I like Dave but I need to do whats best for my son.Alot of cancelled classes,he pushed my son down during his yellow belt test.i wish Dave the best but I dont recommend him anymore.i took him to Reaction Force at the mid Ohio gymnastics building.very good school.

My 8 year old attends classes for Taekwondo and Kempo. Very professional, knowledgeable Instructor. Very reasonably priced and the facility is clean and spacious. Nice to see this offered in Marion.

Sensei Hush is very professional, the quality and affordability is GREAT. He is patient with the students and has availability for everyone

Outstanding instructors, well rounded martial arts, knows what he is doing

He has taught my granddaughter the discipline she needed in just one class. Very patient with the children.

Great Martial Arts School, high quality teachers, and great atmosphere
