...if your not the "sensei" how would you know about conversations between a master and an attorney?  If your not "sensei" how you you know what familiy it is?  And how do you explain the emails?  How do you explain the other ripoff reports posted  on different dates?  You mention the family causing problems in the waiting room, the father is always glued to the computer in his mini-van studing as he is working on his doctorate or doing his legal work.  The non-white wife is beautiful, she is an articulate nurse leader, who works at a large Harvard Teaching hospital in Boston.  I am pretty sure your bad cop intimidation techniques don't work on her because you are a bully, and she is not going to back down from how you are

percieved, a racist.  If you want to learn more, go to Thurston Acadeny's facebook page (if Joe hasn't taken it down) under reviews, there are many, many, many one star ratings, and they all have the same theme: bully, doesn't care about his students, intimidates, only cares about the money. There is also a facebook post that is being shared that includes the above emails and other folks are commenting about their experiences that includes words such as nightmare for their experience at Thurston.  There are a couple of discussions of special needs, one parent points out that sensei was discriminatory towards a child with disabilities.  Sensei's response was: we took care of your child, then in the next sentence it read, you

and your child are both crazy....What is it, did you take care of the child or didn't you, at the very least you were disriminatory towards a child with disabilities. It is all very cnsistent over time from alot of differnt people.  I can only imagine how you took advantage of your power when you were on patrol as a cop, before you went on disability.  Others on social media are talking about their similar expieriences, especailly being stuck in contracts "sensei" manipulating them.  One posts says they were affraid to post, becasue they feared retribution from sensei.  Then as I read there are others saying thank you for warning me, I was looking for a place to go for my child, we will not be going there.  In the end, shame

on sensei.  in the end, that family is not scared of you or your bad cop mentality, they are decent people, sensei's game is over.  Joe Thurston has barked at the wrong tree, this well known, repected family has raised money for childern with specail causes for years and have little toeraence for people taking advantage of children, discriminating against children with disabilities, and slandering parents and slandering childern, with Thurston mentioning the childs name on FB.  The bad cop mentality that Joe THurston poses is no match for well educated people with strong analytical skills, paired with intergrity and roots in the community since 1920.

The complainers are always the loudest

AUTHOR: CathyE - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, January 28, 2016

I have been with Thurston Martial Arts for 4 year and I have a child that attends. The enviornment there is nothing but supportive and encouraging. The complainers are always the loudest but there are many people who are serious about training and who are happy there. We just don't write about it. If you are smart, articulate and intellegent and capable of making your own decisions, I suggest coming in and deciding for yourself. if you are interested in Martial Arts training and you are considering Thurston Martial Arts, come in and see for yourself. Don't be bullied into a decision you are quite capable of making on your own. Thanks for listening and come check them out.
