Left Feeling Like a Total Beginner (And Not in a Good Way)

I walked into Tracy's Karate Studio thinking I was getting into something special, given their 50+ years of experience and all the hype about personalized training. But honestly, it felt like they were just going through the motions. My instructor, while nice, seemed more interested in telling stories about his time with Al Tracy and Joe Lewis than actually teaching me anything new. The 'one-on-one time' they boasted about was more like 5 minutes of actual instruction and 55 minutes of watching others or listening to tales of the good old days. The group classes were disorganized, with too many students and not enough supervision. I've seen more structured and engaging classes at community centers. For a place that claims to be all about 'personal growth and success,' I felt like just another paycheck. The environment was supposed to be 'supportive and motivating,' but it came off as cliquey, with the regulars getting all the attention. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but after a month, I felt no more confident, disciplined, or physically fit than when I started. The focus seemed more on selling the 'Tracy's Karate Studio experience' than on actually teaching martial arts. Disappointing, considering the potential.
