Angry at Whiners
Master Corley has done so much for the martial arts and I find it refreshing that some 30, 000 students over the 4+ decades Master Corley has been teaching have been empowered in the way that I and my children have been. I have seen people over the years bring their children and grand children back to his system to receive the same kinds of positive influences they had received themselves. I have seen Joe Corley give full Black belt scholarships to families in need, donate his time for kids and community projects, give away equipment and services and truly give of himself freely. My complaint is that some parents whose personal commitments waiver find others to blame :(!

poor business; false claims
DON’T BELIEVE HIS WEBSITE – he hasn’t been voted Best in Atlanta in 20 years! My son attended for a year and a half and part of the time was fine. However, Mr. Corley is entirely too pushy about money. He is constantly badgering people to sign 3-year contracts (which involve a $5, 000 loan) for a child that is only 5-6 years old. He doesn't get it when you tell him that you are not ready to make that type of commitment for a child that young. Also, the instructor turnover ratio is extremely high. My son would get attached to one then he would leave. New instructors did not know the level of skill for all the children, and by the time they learned, they were gone. And Mr. Corley is completely unavailable for several months out of the year while planning his even, the Battle of Atlanta - he will not even take your phone call during that time. Our experience was not one that showed how much the instructors cared about the children, but rather how much Mr. Corley cared about money.
