Hi Aleena, why the bad review? I don’t see anyone with your first or last name on our free trial list or membership list since we opened 10yrs ago. Also I see no complaints from this name directly to the club. Please delete this negative review as you might have tagged the wrong karate dojo, thank you. If you have a complaint about Kenzen, just send it directly to us and we’ll absolutely review it. We are all about making friends one to one instead of being negative online.
