I paid $7 for an intoductory karate class. I was able to complete only a couple steps within the site, but the remainder of the introduction did not function. I called the phone number, but it was not in service. I emailed, but received no response back. I tried to log back in, but the site will not recognize my email address now. I hit the Support button on the log in page, but it is not functional. Since then, the company has taken out $47 from my bank account twice. I'm still unable to reach them by phone/email.
I joined online karate in October 20 16 with three easy installments of 279 but was charged all three installments within 2 months and didn't receive my starter package or uniform for 2 months I tried to contact Mark Roscoe over a dozen times by email he finally responded saying my uniform is on the way it showed up a month later. Lack of communication, being charged all three installments within 30 days and a health issue I asked for a refund after about another 10 emails Mark Roscoe finally said if I return uniform he will make sure I get a full refund I returned the uniform 3 months ago no response or refund from Karate online
I am so upset. I paid 267 $ for nothing. I sent many e-mails last couple of weeks and I got no reply at all. I sent several messages on their Facebook page too. No reply. Of course I asked my money back according to their policy of money back within 30 days if you are not satisfied. So far, no reply, no money back. I think it's a scam. Save your money, do not enroll in this karate academy online.
I bought the whole course and like other reviews it started ok. Then there was content missing from the course and videos not always wanting to play. I did the course up to purple belt and sent off the videos. Apart from the first grading email, I haven't heard anything from him and haven't received anything either ( belts, certificates, uniforms, etc) .
I stopped for a few months and then tried to log back on and my email/ log in details have gone, so no access to the course I paid for. I emailed mark but like all my other email . Nothing.
Took my money and nothing in return.
A very poor service and value for money whilst I feel showing nothing of the spirit and true nature of the martial arts community. If I was the head of this style, I would do something about this as it's potentially

I put my son in karate online academy and my son has finished the courses and has not received the belts and they are still taken the money out of my account i have called sent e mails and no response how can i handle this legally i want the belts and the certificates for the belts
Big scam - If Mr. Miyagi was still alive, he would take care of that guy
Exactly like everyone has written on the website: I asked my money back according to their policy of money back within 30 days. No one answered my email and two days later, a second payment (280$) was taken from my credit card. Sent a second Email, sent a facebook message, tried to call them. No freaking answer. I feel really dumb and wish that no one else falls into this trap. Seemed so legit at the beginning, but it's definitely a big scam...
Video received was X rated filth possibly staring the instructor? Absolute garbage! Have half a mind to look into a class action lawsuit! Stay far far away
Terrible customer service. Several lessons are missing videos or basic instructions. Started out well for my first few tests. Then nothing. No response. Tried repeatedly emailing and get nothing. No feedback. No help. Nothing. Looks else where. They are much better options I have found online.
I have only purchased my first month's subscription payment of $17, and everything seems up on the up and up EXCEPT-you can't actually view the lessons. You push play and nothing happens. I have emailed support and have gotten no response. So I contacted my bank to put a block on any future payments.

Ever get your money back? Or get ahold of anyone?

Does not respond to repeated emails. Content missing as you progress. Save you money. There are much better karate schools online.

Better options out there
