If you doubt your school to any degree you need to get out there and explore your options.
I checked the website out. I did not like the described "double front kick" it looked like a jumping split to me and the guy was a 12th degree black belt.
We will not even reveal our ranks to the public at our school so when i see a picture of a 12th degree black belt doing some sort of ineffective jumping split kick I am thoroughly unimpressed.
I think the school smells fishy, especially if they only offer you a class once a week.

Yikes! You really only train once a week?!? That right there doesn't sound right. Then I read the new student FAQ, black belt in 2-3 years with a possible 1 year or six months?!? I wouldn't feel good about it. Do you guys at least hold a few study groups per week? If not, I'd look elsewhere. Also, a 12th Dan? Never heard of such a thing, sounds like one of those schools that uses testing fees as part of their money machine.
One good trick to see if your school is a blackbelt/money mill, ask if they mind that you would prefer to be a permanent white belt. Tell them that this is for your personal growth and you don't need belts. A good instructor doesn't need to see you in testing to know when you are ready for new techniques. At some point, a mill will keep putting pressure on you about how much better it will be if you test, maybe from the start, sometimes a little closer to the first testing or two.

For some reason I can't find much info on instructor on the website. I don't want to download anything so I'm not gonna to do it.
At first I thought it was decent but after read what other people post about instructor, I would say you better get out of that gym. You seems to have unhealthy obossive with this gym

A) His teachings don't make sense or they conflict with one another.
B) He seems to pay more attention to the ladies more than to the art itself.
C)He is more interested in being chumbs with everyone and having group outings that he is about the art.
D)He seems too young for his rank.
E) His credentials are too good to be true.
F) He doesn't spar with good students, or doesn't accept challenges, rather appoints his student to fight in his stead.
G)He claims he is good because his teacher is so and so.
H) He doesn't give a fig about safety.
I) He is more interested in showing off to his students as well as putting them down.
J)MOST IMPORTANT : If you don't feel comfortable with your instructor, you will never learn properly because you instinctively doubt him. Go somewhere else. NOW!!

simple , go on the net and check him out with the relevant authority wta etc , also ask questions ,e.g who was his teacher and how long did he train with them ,check this out, basic enquiries will do it . genuine guys will be only too happy to expand on there lineage
