Karate-Mike Storms

My son is gaining noticeable self-confidence through hands-on experience and instruction with the staff as well as other, more experienced students. Through the interaction and ability to share as well as model for younger students, he is taking on a greater sense of responsibility and pride. Seeing him develop in his personal strengths and self-esteem are as valuable to me as the moves and weaponry are to him.

I know this is really unorthodox, but I just had to swing by to say that Master Storms is the BEST BOSS EVER!!!!



1. I am a 23-year-old who is allowed to spearhead my own business ideas from start to finish. If I come up with an idea, Master Storms encourages me to go for it. And he's letting me do all this experimentation with his business. He supervises, of course. But still! It's awesome.



2. When I mess up, he NEVER makes me feel bad or stupid about it. As a matter of fact, the first time I did something wrong, he just looked at me and said, "Ok. Thanks for letting me know." When I didn't know how to respond to his obvious non-irritation, he said, "What? Do you want me to yell at you for doing one thing wrong out of the hundreds of things you do right?"



I am still flabbergasted by that. Master Storms' character is of a caliber that I find to be very rare, especially in the business world. His positive attitude and integrity shine through all that he does, and I am so grateful to be part of such an amazing team!!!



Happy 51st Birthday, Sensei! :)

They say when searching for a karate school, to search for one that is around the NORMAL amount you would pay on an average per month, which is around $100. You can call 5 other karate schools in the Covignton/Mandeville area and ALL are around that price. So why does MIke Storms charge nearly $200 a month per child? And if you want to become "Black belt leadership"(which they continuously push on you) it's even MORE!?

Mike Storms IS a very good salesman, and that's what he does for a living, sells parents karate $200+ a kid! You MUST sign a contract with them, which is something that most karate places do NOT make you do..EVER! They say it's to keep the child in the program, so they do better themselves, but it's a gimmick, just so he can get your money, and keep getting it, without a doubt! With Mike Storms karate, your paying for the name and nothing else, my children could have gotten much more out of ANY other karate school, but it's my own fault for choosing the scam artist. :,-(

You won't see very much of MIke Storms in the dojo, he doesn't even teach the students. VERY RARELY will he step on the mat. When he does come around, it's with his FAKE SMILE, and will ACT interested in how everyone's doing. He CAN be funny and sometimes VERY RARELY seems down to earth. I don't want to seem ugly about the place. Sensei Eric and Sensei Warren ARE about the only thing worth going for.But that's not why we're going. They ARE so very polite and caring, upbeat and a world of fun for the kids! They know though, they know what a SHYSTER Mike Storms is! I apologize for the amount feedback it is I have, However I was dealing with a karate school that seemed to be quite a money scam. The kids would be running around goofing off, the students were being taught by students as well, never by the master himself, we would rarely see him in the dojo at all. There were always promotional gimmicks to get even more money out of you and basically we just wanted a real true school for our children where they will learn actual karate, self defense, focus, and everything that karate is about!

I warn you, look around and do your homework before choosing. I have found now a wonderful school, much more worth it to us and the kids!
