Basches Martial Arts

They have a purple belt who cannot throw a punch. I find it ridiculous that someone with such obvious lack of skill would be promoted that far. It should have been addressed before promotion to yellow belt - I just am appalled at the lack of technique being taught. Repetition is important; repetition of the wrong form is BAD! Its such an easy concept!

The Sensei taught less than 25% of the classes, although we received regular lectures about what he expects from us. He yelled at his employee in front of everyone else instead of prepping her with instruction before the class she joined. He yells at female students regularly and brings up hormones sometimes while hes yelling. Women are also sensitive if they disagree with him. *** yell at the whole class instead of teaching the student who is having trouble - or addressing the problem with them directly. Sometimes people go in when theyre recovering from a cold and dont want to miss. They might be sluggish or having trouble breathing but giving it 100% - and he yells at the class because some people just dont wanna put forth the effort. Even though he barely taught. Thank goodness. Hes moody and controlling. Discipline is one thing, but fishing for compliments while telling us to be louder in all our expected answers was laughable at best. He should also be TEACHING, not training us to respond like dogs to his commands or anyone elses.

I feel bad for him. He clearly takes pride in what he has accomplished and enjoys martial arts. But he takes the joy away from his students and he refuses to recognize his students potential talent - its not about them. Its all about the Sensei.

He can be funny and some classes we did have fun. Hes trying to do right by his students during the quarantine. Its fine for a few months but long term? Bad habits and no professional associations; a lot of yelling explained as traditional discipline, which it is absolutely not.

In response to some other comments, the dojo was always clean. I also never saw the Sensei making advances towards the moms or adult female students, not even the really pretty ones. Ladies will be safe at least from that at this dojo.

Don't waste your time

This so called Sensei will rip you off. Always offering family and children discounts.

Of course it's part of his scam . The place is a dump. Mats are smelly and stained. Floors always full of dirt.

My friend had his son enrolled there for 1 week.

Picked up bronchitis and a staph infection. Hose the place down with bleach and close it.

We were happy with the initial month so I decided to sign my son up, but when we were told it was $150 a month- I took the "good deal" and paid for a full year (over $1500) to save $.We were happy with my son's behaviors improving.

NOT EVEN 2 months into the year I was told that my son was "getting bored" and needed to move up to the next class. In order to do that I had to sign up FOR ANOTHER YEAR! I was told he (STEVE BASCHE) wasn't going to waste the effort of training these kids if they aren't committed. I wasn't committing my kid to 2 yrs- 1 year was bad enough.

I would have no problem paying for equipment but to get over $3000 from me in a couple of months wasn't going to happen. My son stayed in the same basic ("boring" per sensei) class for the entire year. I also don't think everyone pays the same price. The prices aren't posted anywhere and I feel we were sized up by what we drove and did for a living.

While there were some positives, the shady business/ money practices will keep me from ever recommending them.

The other employees were great.Sensei has some issues.

BEWARE!! PRICES ARE NOT POSTED!!!!
