Rip Off Merchants

Shocking. "Master" Thompson claims to be a "5th Dan" in martial arts. He doesn't say which one. This is NOT karate, it's glorified (and very bad) kickboxing. They are NOT affilliated with ANY Japanese karate organisation, no one quality checks the students from an independent body and you pay EXTORTIONATE membership fees for the pleasure of learning nothing related to martial arts. "Master Thompson" has also claimed his schools can run Krav Maga and Haganah. As he's affiliated with absolutely NO Israeli martial arts organisation, this isn't even possible and Haganah isn't even a martial system, unless they're referring to Haganah Atzmit, the system of the Israeli police - a system not taught outside of the police force for obvious reasons. Search out a real KAPAP or Krav Maga school (Israeli systems), a real karate school or just a different school altogether - avoid these jokers at all costs.
