Zingg's Karate Center

**ashi** · Posted On: 6/19/2007 6:02pm

Sensei Zingg has been teaching for over 30 years, and has had thousands of students. He has devoted his life to always learning more about the martial arts he loves, and sharing this information with others. His school is a friendly safe family place to be. He specializes in working with children.
He has special rates for families and great summer camps for the kids. He teaches 5 nights a week and that is a lot of classes for what you pay.

These scores are dramatically inflated. Please examine the scoring guidelines here and update your review accordingly.

Interesting that you give it all 10s. Did you read the rules and announcements before you posted this? Their criteria for an all 10 is on the same level as the AMerican Top Team facility in FL......a 10,000 Sq Ft. state of the art facility that specializes in training top tier, professional MMA athletes. Are you saying that this school is on par with ATT?????

This smacks of a marketing ploy, and a dishonest one at that. The member that "reviewed" the school has 1 post (this one), provides no real information about the school or its facilities, and offers no info in their profile. Additionally, the website given has very little information.....there is not even a profile or lineage bio of the owner of the school, and the homepage that you are brought to the first thing you see is a "donate" button asking for money. This is SHADY!!!!

If Sensei Zigg can't even be honest about giving out information about his school or transparent in his own marketing, what does that say about him as a teacher or a martial artist?

I second the motion and send it to the floor for a vote.

All in favor?

And of course, as is to be expected, this Zingg clown does not show up.

What a joker....and a joke.

Is there a process to delete this kind of crap?

from the looks of it, this review may have been written by a student of the school. i agree that the gym size has been exaggerated according to the guidelines. i'm new to this site, and some of the things on here are pretty ridiculous, and judging from some of the videos i've seen, i can see why this site is entertaining.

i'm a member of the school, and i've trained at several schools in the past, so here's my rating:

as a veteran of various martial arts, Zingg's school has provided the best personalized training of any school I've ever attended. one of the major perks of training at this dojo is that you never know who might show up to train. the bunkai and training atmoshere is top notch. leave your ego at the door at this one, because if it's training that you want, regardless of your rank and experience, you'll get it there.

Shihan Zingg and his associates don't blow smoke up your ass, and won't set you loose thinking that you're bulletproof. this is a great dojo to learn about yourself, and i've seen people wander into the dojo with a superman complex train and lose thier false sense of power and learn for themselves what martial arts are about.

The school is legit.
