Showed me one thing and sold me something else by a “professional “.Also, had to pay upfront for everything; my wife and son had one bad class and when I asked for a refund, they said they would not return a penny. Horrible way to deal with costumers and handle business. Make sure you know what quality training you are getting before making a commitment and payments. NO REFUND POLICE.

GO AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!I download the application hoping that my son would like Karate however after some Saturdays trying, we decided to quick since my son doesn’t like it and he was refusing to participate.Well once you download de Aplication, you will not be able to cancel by yourself, you will need to call their headquarters office and request the cancelation and after all they still charging you for a month since they required 30 days in advance.I didn’t know that downloading the application and adding your information there means you will be allowing them to charge you automatically per week.RUN AWAY FROM THEM.I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE.

I can’t thank Master Moncada and Master Creed enough for teaching me how to feel safe not only in self defense situations, but also in my own skin. I get harassed by men constantly, and have even been chased down a few times in broad daylight. Before taking Krav Maga with them, I was scared to go for a walk in a gated community; now, I feel like I can defend myself in case anything does happen. Also, the community at Karate America is so positive, and I honestly think it has to do mostly with the staff being pure rays of sunshine. I’ve become friends with members of classes I don’t even take, and we all support each other. I’ve never seen anything like it! There’s not enough space on earth for all the kind words I’d say about this place.In short, If you feel unsafe, try Krav with Master Moncada and Master Creed! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself ❤️

Do not sign up with them if your child may not like karate. I had correspondence with one of the instructors more than a month prior to when my childs last class was (becuase my child no longer wanted to do karate) and I was informed I did not need to leave a written notice. When I confirmed with the same person about canceling the classes for my child they told me to email headquarters, of which I did but they still charged me for one more month. I showed the correspondence to the person at headquarters proving that I requested cancellation more than 30 days in advanced and they still wont refund me for the additional month they charged me. They are obviously just about making money with no regards to written communication. Not happy and will never recommend Karate America to another person.

I found Karate America through Groupon. They did not pressure me to join except to once let me know the prices were going up for every one shortly. Then they left me alone about joining which made me want to join.Im 59 and a bit out of shape. My new class friends are great to work with. Even if we have an accidental tiny accident we get concerned, make sure we are ok and then continue having fun and learning.

Karate America has been a blessing to my daughter and myself. It has taught her confidence and self love. She has been with Mr. Creed(instructor) and staff for the past year. They have been a great example and leader. I wouldnt change it for the world. Im looking forward to many years and having my daughter continue her journey to black belt.

Very clean environment, and the stuff and instructors are super friendly. Their kid’s program is awesome. We only tried for a month because my kid is too young, but we are going back in the future.

Both of my children have thrived at Karate America. From tiny tigers to black belts, they have grown physically, emotionally and intellectually. The instructors are fabulous! The camaraderie is so comforting. And its not just for the kids. As a parent listening during class, you pick up on the life skills that lead to discussions with your family about being your best self. And dont forget the awesome ninja nights, where parents can drop off the student for a few hours so you can enjoy a date night with your spouse. If you are thinking of taekwondo, you should come to our school!

Great energy in all classes.. Instructors are Awesome and take the time to reach each student. It is more than Teakwondo.. it is life lessons and values that extend much further than the dojang! I feel that the instructors follow up with life lessons that I am working on at home with my children. It takes a village to raise a child and I am happy that Karate America is a part of ours!!

About 10 years ago, my son Andres Carrasco, became a black belt at Karate America, Pembroke Pines. They taught him respect, discipline, how to be positive, and to never quit. When my son was leaving for college 2 months ago, he forced me to go and see Mr. Creed so I could start exercising. According to my son, I needed to do something to distract myself so I wouldnt get depressed when he left. Little did I know, that at 57, I would be falling in love with kickboxing. I have not only found a way to distract myself, I have lost the weight I gained in the last 6 years, I am more toned than ever, I have so much more energy, and I have lowered my heart rate by 10 beats per minute. And all of this in just 2 months!!! But the best part of all, is to have Mr. Creed and Ms. Moncada be a part of our lives again. Thank you for everything you have done for our family. You are truly amazing people.

Little did I know that by signing up for Taekwondo at Karate America for both my children and myself that I would be changing our lives completely. Robert Creed and Damaris Moncada have created a positive loving family environment. The entire Karate America staff are training leaders through positive reinforcement and strong life lessons. They encourage everyone who enters, including parents and friends and families sitting and watching class to create goals and help them achieve these goals. The families and instructors have become a second family to my children and I, creating a warm, positive and friendly environment.

Karate America delivers a multi-faceted training program for children and adults. I started my daughter in the Tiny Tigers program at the age of 4 when they were at their previous location. Now, 3 1/2 years later she is thriving as a blue belt and a member of the advanced class. The school offers a normal class, a higher intensity class, kickboxing fitness classes, and Krav Magra self defense. They also offer several non-training related activities for the young like ninja night and camps during school breaks. The current space is a little small however, they are on the cusp of completing the build-out on a much larger space on the side of the parking lot. Robert Creed, Damaris Moncada and the rest of the highly capable high-character staff at Karate America are excellent role models for children and adults alike.

Master Creed and Ms. Moncada make the perfect team of instructors, delivering the best technique in regards not only to Taekwondo, but also kids self defense and adult Krav Maga. Love the family oriented care and the mutual respect that exists between the instructors and the students of all ages. I recommend this school to all of my friends and family.

First of all the place is called KARATE America and it claims to teach taekwondo. For those who don’t know karate is not a general term. Karate is karate and taekwondo is taekwondo. Next the kids in the jaxsonville location could get a black belt if their parents paid enough money. So you go around and see little kids who joined a few days ago. Finally the testings which claims to prove the skill of a student is done with hundreds of others so they could just sit their and pass. All in all karate America is just a fake who drains your money.

Deep in my heart I know joining Karate America CC/PE was the best decision I Ever made to be a part of Karate America CC/PP. Best choice I ever made for mydaughters. Wanted to take a moment and express why, Mr. Robert Creed, Ms. Damaris Moncada, and the whole staff constantly preparing our kids physically and mentally for not only TaeKwanDo but life lessons more valueable than you can imagine. Going the extra mile to know your kid not just as a student but as one of the family. It doesnt stop there the parents are just as involved. The experience is one of family not instructor student.

Robert creed is a scam artist who is money hungry to fill there seats. He lures kids in by saying the get two free weeks and then scans the parents.
