About 4 Towers Martial Arts
4 Towers Martial Arts is a business that offers martial arts training, previously located in an unspecified location and now moved to Berry Town Center across from Citrus Ridge K-8. They no longer provide after-school care. The business has a policy that encourages parents to stay and watch their children's classes rather than dropping them off. The head instructor, Sensei Butch, is known for his high expectations and toughness towards intermediate and advanced students, with the goal of helping them perform their best under pressure. Before every belt test, students are required to provide a performance evaluation from their teachers, parents, or caregivers. Failure to return the evaluation or receiving a low rating may result in the student being unable to test for their next belt or being placed on a conditional period. Sensei Butch is described as tough but also loving, as he greets each student with a warm smile, high-fives, hair nuzzles, and brief pep talks at the end of every class. Four Towers Martial Arts has received positive feedback from parents, with children showing improvement in discipline, respect, and behavior at school and home. The business has also been praised for its organization and communication, particularly during tournaments. The food and ice cream provided at the tournament were a bonus. Overall, 4 Towers Martial Arts is a business that focuses on discipline, respect, and high expectations for its students, with a supportive and loving environment.
If you actually read the review below mine - you'd see it's a woman who doesn't care about her kid if she's going to leave him in a place and then send a van to pick him up. I won't say what it sounds like but I'm sure others reading this catches my drift. They no longer operate at this location and are now in the Berry Town Center across from Citrus Ridge K-8. They also no longer offer after school care probably because parents like the one below me will leave their kid there until closing so the parents can go out to dinner and do laser tag. With that being said, Sensei Butch doesn't like parents to stay in their cars or drop their kids off and do whatever...I mean....wouldn't you want to see how your kid is doing in their class?? My son has been coming to this Dojo for 2 years. He has learned a great deal of perseverance, honesty, and pride. Sensei Butch is tough on the kids in the intermediate and advanced classes - but it's for good cause. He puts a reasonable amount of pressure on the kids so they can perform their best under that pressure. Before every belt test, the kids need to give a paper to their teachers, parents/caregivers to rate the child in their performance at home and at school. If their rating is too low OR they don't return the paper, they cannot test for their next belt. If it's borderline...he will allow them to test but puts them on a conditional period of time for a month. At that time, they are given another paper to give to their teachers and caregivers to see if there's any improvement. If there is, the conditional status is removed. If there isn't, the student is demoted to their previous belt. Once again - he's tough and he's not for everyone. But he's also very loving with the kids. At the end of every class, with a warm smile, he goes "show me some love!" and gives high fives, hair nuzzles, and brief pep talks to all the kids.
We have Four kids at 4 Towers martial arts, they love it and they even are behaving much better at school and home, they have learn more discipline and respect for others and themselves, I recommended for everyone
my son has been going there for a while now and we truly really do love it, learning martial arts has brought out a side of him that has truly been beautiful to see. We recently went to our first tournament and it was a great experience from start to finish, we were informed of how it’ll play out leading up to the day and again when we got there and that’s exactly how it happened, the food and ice cream outside were a plus for sure ! never change 4 towers martial arts !!
