My 9 year old daughter has been attending XS MAD Dojo for a little over a year now. Since then, her behavior has improved in school along with her respect for others. The more she attends, the more understanding she has of what is expected of her & not allowed. She knows that she has responsibilities & that she will be held accountable for her actions. What I love is her passion for XS MAD & the approval she seeks from her Sensei. She tries very hard not to let him down, nor herself. It's good to know that when I need the assistance of reprimanding her, they are there to get her back on track!
I originally enrolled my son. One month later, I became a student. My son and I just recently celebrated one year of training and look forward to our journey to black belt. This is a supportive dojo that is concerned about your mental and physical well-being. There are various options for young children, teens, and adults. Everyone starts from the beginning, no matter their fitness level prior martial experience is not required and he/she will go AND grow from there.
I will not recommend the company to absolutely no one. Sensi Horne is very rude and unprofessional. He doesn’t teach the kids most of the time like was stated in the beginning that he would. The monthly payments doesn’t help parents pay for anything every and anything your child needs you have to pay, competitions are mandatory but you have to pay, to advance to another belt level you have to pay. This company is all about a dollar, and I so regret I supported this company. His the reason why blacks don’t support black business. I lost my job and wasnt able to continue to sent my child he still wants the monthly payment for the contract you have to sign which I only had 3 months left and he now have his lawyers threatened me saying they going to sue me for the remaining balances. I mean just rude and not trying to compromise or anything.
Sensei Horne, his staff and the members of XS Martial Arts Dojo are the best. They received me with honor and respect from the time that I arrived to the time that I left. I highly recommend that everyone visiting the New Orleans area to stop in and see the grand things that Sensei Horne has in the works. Not only does his teaching ability come from the heart, it is also passed down to his instructors, students and staff. I'm looking forward to my next visit in the near future.
If I could rate zero stars...I WOULD. This place is money hungry & during this pandemic 2020 this company did NOT asked if parents were out of work and unable to afford classes. They are doing virtual classes for 30 minutes but still charging the full amount when classes are normally an hour. They can be very unprofessional and unsympathetic towards the parents.
I've noticed a definite change in my son since enrollment. He's more focused and polite. XS MAD has had a positive affect on his overall behavior.
