Just another number by Sarah L on 12/4/2013 via Insider Pages
I moved down to Orem from Salt Lake 2 years ago and started Bobby Lawrence karate (blk) in 2009 with great hopes until I transferred schools. Since the move I felt like just another number to their books. I felt completely forgotten and…

Satisfied Customer by Bob W on 12/13/2012 via Insider Pages
Some of these reviews are not being completely honest and giving all the information. As someone who has been involved in their karate school for a number of years, I've seen many families come and enjoy the program, including my own.…

BUYER BEWARE!! by Samantha H on 10/25/2012 via Insider Pages
My child was 5 when we started classes. It was great at first. We found out about the leadership program and it went downhill from there. First of all, they bring you and the child in a room and he tells you all the good things that the…

This place needs work by Victor A on 7/11/2012 via Insider Pages
The karate instructor gave unsatisfactory performance during the introductory classes. He is also the owner... That being said, he was bout very clear I the instructions of the homework and we tried to talk to him about it. First he came…

Chrstina C. by Jessie L on 5/28/2012 via Insider Pages
My son has taken karate here for a little over 5 years. He started in the little ninjas class at 5 years old and is now currently a 2nd degree black belt. We've been so happy with the lessons our son has learned. Not just with the karate…

Don't Go Here! by A a on 2/22/2012 via Insider Pages
This is an expensive babysitting service. Good for little kids who don't mind mommy and daddy and need to be taught some respect. Expensive for what you get, or the lack of it. Don't expect your kid to become a little ninja despite the…

Very Satisified by Erick N on 12/2/2011 via Insider Pages
I've had my son in the program for a little over a year now. We wanted him to train for his black belt but before we made that decision we wanted to see how the instructors would teach him and how he would do after the first year.\r \r I…

BLK Orem is Great!!! by Blake C on 4/8/2011 via Insider Pages
I think that Bobby Lawrence Karate is an excellent program for anyone whether you're 5 or 50, it doesn't matter, if you came to learn how to learn karate, you'll get that and more. They have very reasonable prices and they teach not only…

Larry R by Larry R on 4/8/2011 via Insider Pages
I don't know why anyone would write something like the previous person. My guess is they are simply a jealous competitor. My children have taken karate at Bobby Lawrence for over four years. Our experience has been very positive. The…

A Martial Arts Amway! Stay Away! by Laura P on 3/30/2011 via Insider Pages
I LOATHE this karate studio, and let me tell you all the reasons why. The only, and I do mean ONLY thing these people are concerned about is making money. They require you to sign up for at least a year, two days a week, and for my five…

Fantastic Karate School by Bill H on 3/15/2011 via Insider Pages
I completely disagree with some of the previous comments about questioning the owners. They are in the school almost daily and are always willing to help you out if you have any kind of trouble. They do ask for commitment but they are 100%…

Structured but fun at the same time by Nicholas L on 2/25/2011 via Insider Pages
We received a free 30 day pass to try out the program before we joined. I really liked the way they taught the kids about respect for parents and the importance of doing homework and chores. \r \r I would recommend the program for parents…

Bad Experience by Robert K on 2/20/2011 via Insider Pages
Note that these posts vary between people who are very ticked off and people who seem to have down the BLK multi-level marketing language about their "amazingness" and the "great energy" and how they are the "number one school." \r \r No…

Amazing school, instructors and great program by Mel J on 2/10/2011 via Insider Pages
I am very impressed with program thats offered at the Bobby Lawrence Karate in Orem. I have seen how great the instructors are with the students and how much its helped. Do you have a child that is Autistic or has ADHA? I have seen Miki…

Great Program by John L on 2/8/2011 via Insider Pages
Great programs for kids. At first I was worried about signing up for a year, but after seeing the way they teach the students about respect and goal setting, we were very happy to enroll our son. \r \r I really like that I have someone…

Don't Drink the Kool-Aid. by B S on 12/16/2010 via Insider Pages
Same as the other reviews. Don't drink the kool-aid. They are nice until you want to leave. Why contracts for kids to take karate? Kids lose interest. Leadership program ( a separate contract) is virtually non-existant and…

Mr. by D C on 10/30/2010 via Insider Pages
Would recommend people to stay away from this organization. If you question them you are in trouble as previous review mentioned. Beware that there is NO WAY they are going to let you out of contracts. Be careful about what you sign. Be…

BLK equals violent???? think again. by L. H on 7/2/2010 via Insider Pages
I totally and completely disagree with VIOLENCE about BLK students are violent and aggressive. The school teaches the student to have respect for themselves as well as others. They also emphasize self control. We've been with the school…

Great system. Check the schools 1st. by Hanh P on 4/13/2010 via Insider Pages
My 10 yr. old nephew goes to Orem BLK and I attended a couple of Blackbelt "celebrations" and tournaments in SLC with his family, to check it out for my kids. The BLK is mostly a family franchised ran mostly by the Lawrences. I'm quite…

Positive Program by Caren N on 2/18/2010 via Insider Pages
My son has been going here for about 3 months and his improvement is great! I disagree that it was high pressure or that they were not upfront. We signed up with a special offer and got a gift card. I was impressed with how much…
