Texas Karate Institute

I would stay away from this place. We reached out to them regarding our child’s interest in taking classes. After we learned there was a contract, we informed the business (Mr. Stuer) that we didn’t feel comfortable signing a contract.
Mr. Stuer’s response was: «Please let us know when you start taking your child’s extra curricular activities more seriously.»
I don’t have a problem with a business requiring a contract, but if the customer is not interested, be a little more professional and less catty. Based on his lack of professionalism, I would not feel comfortable with him teaching my child.

Be careful about giving this place your credit card information, we quit 5 months ago and they’ve been billing us ever since!
As they instructed, we wrote them a letter requesting to terminate the contract, although I can’t understand why asking them face to face was not enough? We also spoke to them a number of times about why we were still being billed and even canceled our credit card, but somehow they got the new number. We are still working at getting them to stop charging us for a program that was not enjoyable for our child.
Our 7 yr old and all his friends got bored of the program after 4 month, because the training for orange belts got overly complex & tedious for little boys and much of the classes had them sitting down listening to belt presentations and promotion of upcoming tournaments. Perhaps if they made it more engaging for little boys, the 4 of them would all still be there.

My kids have been students at this school for 4 years. In comparing this school with others that are in the area, I am very happy that this is where we landed. My kids will become true martial artists, not attending a belt factory like some of the popular schools. I believe my 7 year old blue belt can defend himself much better than our friends 6 year old 2^nd degree black belt, who still cries during class. This school has been around a long time and has a standing reputation as producing top notch competitors and state champions. I always recommend TKI to people who ask about it.
