How to Choose a Martial Arts School
When choosing a martial arts school, you should begin by writing down your objectives and asking yourself the following questions.
Are you choosing a martial arts school for convenience?
Unfortunately many people make the selection because the school is close by, and they find it convenient. This is fine if you are looking for a leisure-time activity. However, often the best martial arts school may not be the nearest.
Are you choosing a martial arts school because it offers the best rates?
You know the old saying, “you get what you pay for.” Quality instruction to benefit your fitness and health, and taking place in a clean and spacious facility, will require a financial investment. Choosing a school based on price is often a poor decision.
Are you choosing a school based on social media reviews?
Many people choose a martial arts school solely based on social media reviews, disregarding other important factors such as the tenure of the school and the credentials of the Chief Instructor.
Is the school a cheering academy or a traditional Wushu Guan/Dojo that fosters discipline, builds character, and imparts martial arts knowledge?
Regrettably, there are too many martial arts schools that provide a fun, cheerful environment, where belts are handed out without merit, and everyone gets promoted, regardless of skill. In a traditional Wushu Guan, or Dojo, everything must be earned, and nothing is given away. Students must work earnestly and apply themselves in each and every lesson.
