Karate DO USA

I used to be a student at their West Portal school years ago and decided to try out this new location.
I was left a tad bit disappointed with the level of instruction that was being provided. I was required to start all over (white belt) and had to work my way back to my old rank. Despite passing the levels with some ease the amount of time they would give me a promotion test were far and few between. I’m sure that it was done in order to extend my membership not based on my actual skill.
Well, on another note I may have been turned off by the fact that none of my old instructors were no longer affiliated with Karate USA. Mr. Joe, Mr. Ignacio and Mr. Kenny were some of the best teachers. They would challenge you during every lesson and let you know if you sucked on your kata’s and praise if you did them correctly.
