EVAN DREW - ZENTAO MARTIAL ARTS Child abuse, mean, lazy, poor business intrest Royal Palm Beach Florida
My child was a student of ZenTao Martial Arts in Royal Palm Beach, FL.
I witnessed on many different accounts how Evan Drew which is the owner
and instructor of the school abuse young children by allowing them to
beat up on the weak children. When i confronted him of this abuse he
stated to me that i was confused and should toughing up my child. I
have heard from other instructors along with a few students that he
sits around and smokes pot all day. Which means he comes to classes
high as a kite. I dont know about you but this is not who i want
teaching my child discipline and respect.
The school is on its way to being shut down is what i have heard from other instructors.
People do not wast your money on this school as it will be just that...
A WASTE... There are plenty of good schools around they will teach you
a better understanding.
Palm Beach Boxing is where i have relocated with my children. There are
even instructors here that left ZENTAO to join this real team of pros.
If you do not want your students learning Martial arts from a wanna be
who is on weed 24/7 and god knows what else please leave this dead beat
school and demand a refund..
good luck to everyone and Godbless you all..

My son has been a student of Zentao Martial Arts school since March,2009. This school does teach kids to toughen up, they're not just given away belts. They learn to be able to defend self if bullied or physically threatened. Yes, this school is for kids and adults who don't come to collect belts but to learn to defend self in real life situations. I know Mr Evan Drew since March,2009. He is very passionate about Martial Arts. My son attends this Martial Arts school 6 days a week, and I've never seen or suspected that Mr. Drew uses drugs or any illegal substances. I'm a registered nurse myself, and in my line of work I've been dealing a lot with drug users/abusers.From my experience, I would be picking it up immediately.
The ripoff report was written by very bitter, prejudiced and vendictive person. That's my honest opinion. Some people getting very happy whenever spill dirt at other people.

We share a common interest, and that is martial arts instruction, "the words beating up
weak children" for the untrained professional instructor or parent may seem very abusive or down rite criminal, if this was the case Mr. Drew (Martial Arts hall of fame inductee) would of suffered the consequences 5 years ago when he opened up his first school. As a matter of fact there are some students in his school that have parents in Law enforcement, or Law enforcement Officers themselves...
Sparring as you call "beating up on the weak", is a redundant aspect of MMA, Karate, Kung-fu, Muay Thai any contact sport. Sir or Madam martial arts is a pugilistic sport that enables the "weak" to defend themselves from any act of aggression by constant and diligent training.
With that I am not trying to excuse any oversight the instructor or instructors may have had, during a class where by an advanced student may have gone overboard, but again blaming the instructor degrading him calling him a drug addict is totally un-called for. His curriculum covers all aspects of a beginner or a child's best interest in the martial arts
experience.
I am sorry if I have offended you in any way, I apologize in advance. please rebut this post if I am inaccurate in any way. thanks for reading (character reference)
