| - I just wanted to agree with the comment from Charles comment listed below on 10/17/12. The fees are ridiculous and forced on you as a parent, aside from uniform, testing and monthly fees. The mandatory seasonal uniforms, its ridiculous how although we buy their uniforms they are required to buy seasonal uniforms that they will never be able to use again unless its a Friday. Not only that Mr Rico puts the parents in awkward and compromising positions with our kids, by putting parents on the spot with the lame events he comes up with and asking the kids in front of of us to pay out whatever fee he is trying to collect. To say the least my daughter was very active and when Mr Rico failed to no longer acknowledge her as as student as there are others paying more fees, she started to fall behind and lose interest and at no point did Mr Rico reach out to see how we can get her back on pace. Not only did she not learn real techniques to help her, she was also forced to promote his business with no real reward for doing that besides some fake plastic coins, that you can exchange for trash. Until I canceled my contract Mr Rico then reached out and showed concern. Again, I refused to fall into the fee schedule he created all alone. He created a skip a belt rank if you pay like $400, and when Mr Rico decided to, he changed his mind and the parents were livid and complained and then all of a sudden the kids who really never deserved the rank advancement still got it, again the parents simply pay for belts the kids are not really learning anything. Sadly as a parent I was let down, with Mr Ricos inconsistencies. He preaches and plans and doesnt follow through unless the kids remind him to follow through. My daughter participated in several events and we had to arrange our schedules to make sure we never missed these events and sure enough they cancel plans on the same day without advance notice and the rest of us just have to adjust. They are inconsiderate of peoples times and schedules. Then classes start late because Mr Rico loves to hear himself talk. Oh and last but not least, parents be ready to be forced to earn your own belt, not only does your child need to know the form you will be forced to learn it also, you will be expected to know answers, and pretty much do Mr Ricos job for him. Oh and his coaches that cover for him, wow they are scattered and all over. So that makes no one feel better. This is my experience and I dont care how anyone else feels about him. I am a hard working mom, and I have taken the time to write this review as I feel someone might actually value it and not fall into this mess. Oh and Mr Rico does down talk other ATA's that charge less fees than he does. He is very vocal about it. Probably because again hes busy trying to charge parents for all the events he can invent.
