I
would
not
personally
trust
my
children
to
Adam
“Smash”
Smith.
We
signed
a
6-month
contract
for
his
women’s
only
program,
enrolling
our
daughters.
Two
months
into
the
contract,
he
sent
an
email
stating
that
to
enhance
his
gym,
he
wanted
all
students
to
start
competing.
This
same
email
stated
that
he
was
phasing
out
the
women’s
only
membership,
but
he
did
not
state
that
we
could
not
finish
our
current
contract.
Instead,
he
began
sporadically
cancelling
the
class
with
limited
make-up
opportunities.
Then,
one
week
they
substituted
a
“sip
and
paint”
night
for
the
class,
which
you
had
to
be
21
and
over
to
attend.
My
daughter
was
16.
I
complained
and
stated
I
should
be
refunded.
Mr.
Smith
sent
me
an
email
almost
immediately
stating
that
he
was
cancelling
our
account,
and
that
we
were
no
longer
welcome
at
his
gym.
I
tried
reasoning
with
him,
I
tried
apologizing
(but,
for
what?!
–
asking
for
a
service
I
had
already
paid
for!),
but
to
no
avail.
His
responses
to
me
were
so
over
the
top
and
rash,
there
was
no
logical
explanation
for
his
behavior.
When
I
complained
about
paying
for
a
class
that
my
daughter
could
not
even
attend,
he
responded
that
the
teacher
was
a
“mother,
a
nurse...and
a
volunteer.”
In
other
words,
how
dare
I
complain.
My
question
to
Mr.
Smith:
If
I’m
paying
for
the
class,
why
are
you
not
paying
the
teacher??
We
have
attended
3
jiu
jitsu
gyms
in
different
states,
and
we
have
NEVER
had
an
issue
with
a
gym/coach.
ANY
complaint,
politely
worded,
and
fully
merited
is
called
out
as
“bullying”
and
“abuse.”
Mr.
Smith
has
ZERO
conflict
resolution
skills,
and
he
does
not
honor
contracts,
nor
does
he
seem
to
respect
women.
Adam
Smith
will
play
the
victim
card
at
any
opportunity.
