Over 20 years ago I stepped into my first martial arts class that was held in the basement of a South Philadelphia church. The instructor of that class was Zhang Sah's founder, Sal Sandone. The instruction that I received while a student of his laid the foundation for what has become a passion of mine for over two decades. I still utilize principles that were taught to me during my days as a fresh white belt.
We have had an extremely negative experience with this organization. First, they disciplined my 7- or 8-year old son for not bringing his uniform to the after-school program (it was my fault for not packing it); he came home in tears. Then they billed us for more than A YEAR'S WORTH OF FEES and refused to refund the more than $1000 of our money which we had paid for no services. They said we had only "suspended" our membership temporarily, and started billing us without any monthly statements or anything like that. To my mind, you don't take $1000 of people's money if they didn't intend to pay you.
My opinion is that these guys talk the talk about honor and values but don't walk the walk.
I love this place. My son has been going for 5 months. The people are very nice and always friendly. I read in another person's review that they did not like an instructor, Marquis. Well, I can tell you that can't be true. From my experience, Marquis is patient and fun. His classes are always very engaging for the young kids. He keeps them moving, interested and always happy and proud of themselves on the way out. Marquis must really enjoy teaching to be that good at it.

the instructor name Marquis really hates my daughter, he dont have patience and always embarrassed my little girl to the group. He pulled out my child several times, I really disappointed and not interested to this karate class anymore.
My son has been going since age 5 and he is now 11. Zhang Sah has become family-like. Besides learning different martial arts techniques - he has also learned other valuable life tools including leadership, confidence, teamwork, and more. I would definitely recommend this program.
