03 Aug When searching for a Martial Arts School
There are so many factors people look for when in search for a martial arts school. First all is what kind of martial arts are you interested in? (Karate , Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling , Tae kwon do). Next on your checklist will be is the location convenient for you and is the price within your budget. Those are important but the number one factor should be the teacher / coach and do your goals align with the way they teach and run their martial arts classes. Teaching experience is also a big factor as no one teaches the way they did when they first started. Martial arts teachers learn by experience and find better ways to pass on knowledge to their students from trial and error. Lets say you want your kids to learn that nothing in this world is entitled to them yet every 3-6 months your kid is on an auto pilot testing and receives a new belt. Sure the school might be cheaper and closer to you but the teacher / coach isn’t aligned with your views therefore not provided the main reason you want to join the Martial arts program.
