GREATEST PRICES AND THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!

by JoshDee

I RARELY FREQUENT BASH SITES LIKE THIS WHERE PEOPLE WITH AXES TO GRIND BLAST PEOPLE AND COMPANIES THAT WILL NOT ALWAYS TELL THEM WHAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO HEAR. I HAVE BEEN A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER OF ATF BLACK BELT ACADEMY FOR YEARS. NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE THE GREATEST PRICES AND THE BEST (YES I SAID BEST) CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT ALSO I HAVE FOUND NO OTHER MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL IN TOWN WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE , STYLE AND CLASS. I KNOW IT'S TOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE TO COME TO THE REVELATION THAT THEY DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND ATTEMP TO REDEEM THEIR EGO BY COMING ONLINE AND CALLING PEOPLE NAMES. I HAVE BEEN DOING TAEKWON-DO FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE NEVER FOUND ANYONE WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT MY CHILDREN AND ME LIKE ATF DOES. GET A LIFE PEOPLE! THIS AWFUL ATTITUDE WILL NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU ANYWHERE!

• Pros: KNOWLEDGE AND CLASS "A" REPUTATION

You mean ATF Belt "Factory"?!

by Eggnmel

The owner is a self proclaimed Black Belt instructor who will gladly take your money to put you or your child on the fast track to receiving your belt. We were clients for one and a half years and found ourselves "nickeled and dimed" to death with his money raising tactics for our child to work up the belt ladder. Owner constantly prints and sells new t-shirts and then quickly considers and disallows previous t-shirts that you have purchased from being worn to classes. In addition, increases of fees to test, practice for testing and for workshops are added later and "strongly encourage" to you for your child to be "successful". All equipment and supplies must be purchased solely through HIM or you and your child will not be allowed to participate in class. We routinely found much cheaper supplies but were forbidden from using them in his studio.

If you don't want to take my word for it, interview several other Tae Kwon Do Instructors in the Summerlin and North Las Vegas area and they can bring you up to date on his "reputation".

Good luck finding a great studio. But if you want to earn your belt from a qualified and reputable Instructor, ATF Blackbelt Academy is NOT the place.

• Pros: Classroom size
• Cons: Lack of quality instruction, being "nickeled and dimed" to death with additional fees, expensive supplies and required items

ATF offered me an ?out-of-this-world? deal!

by AnthonyBarss

I am not here to defend anybody, but the circumstances here are not about the feelings or about contracts. I had the same problem as ?HOOOOO? and when I approached Mr. Melatti at ATF with my current financial situation I was acknowledged with class and professionalism. He understood the way the economy is at this time in the entire Vegas area and offered me an ?out-of-this-world? solution. Not only had he given us the opportunity to continue at ATF with normal classes, but he also allowed us to freeze the contracted payments (my own responsibility) until things gets better.

Now, ?HOOOOO?, take a quick look at your disposition and don?t walk away from your responsibilities. If you are not paying ATF, I?m sure you are not paying anybody else! That?s wrong, that?s repulsive!

• Pros: Professionalism and Work Ethics.
• Cons: Can't think of it...
