I had a 25 month contract with John Olivera of Steeles Karate in Salem Oregon, and it was not honored, as a matter of fact Mr. Olivera kicked my 6 year old daughter out of his dojo claiming she was a threat to his dojo and others in it. The only threat she was, was that she was an International gold medalist and had recently been a local talk show and no one else was included sohe decided 3 weeks before Nationals in which she qualified for that he would throw her out. We still have 9 months left on our contract and he will not tell us why she can’t come.
This is not the true karate way so anyone wanting to join. Beware if your child is good dont expect to be around for long unless you include Mr. Olivera in everything you do, hes all about getting himself the recognition!! and to hell with the contract, which is legal and binding by law.
