Answer 1

I always invite students to come for two free sessions and visit classes as often as they wish .I would also suggest doing the bellow:

Cleanliness - You are the customer! Does the school look and smell like a gym? Are the restrooms filthy? Instructors take no more pride in their instruction than they take in their school's appearance.

Business Integrity - Check with the Better Business Bureau (In the your area) to see if there have been complaints. Better yet, see if they are members of the Better Business Bureau.


This may be the most important check. To do a background check on a school and its instructors:


1. Ask the person giving the pitch for written information describing the style and its teachers.

2. Upon receiving the written information, go to the Internet and run key words and names through online search engines such as Google (http://google.com). Read what comes up.

3. If you have questions, require the person giving the pitch to answer them to your satisfaction. Also consider asking the same questions at online bulletin boards such as E-budo (http://www.e-budo.com).

4. Finally, if a required to sign a contract longer than 30 days, make inquiries about the school and the instructor at the Attorney General's office prior to signing

Hidden costs - Ask about additional charges for uniforms, belt-testing, belts, "mandatory" seminars, "required" videos, etc. Good schools do not hide costs. Some schools even hide the number of belt-tests until you have signed a contract, then surprise you with charges of $35 or more per month for testing.

Instructor Professionalism - Are the instructors still learning? Ask them. If they are not, you will never reach their current level. Wearing a Black Belt is no assurance of ability or teaching skills.

Ask to see a rank certificate and a teaching certificate from a recognized national certifying body which is independent of the school itself (some schools actually create their own "association" and "promote" themselves in belt-rank, or publish fictitious rank and teaching certificates).

How do they treat each other? - Observe how instructors treat students, and how students treat each other. Be sure that is how you want to be treated.



Classes by Age Group - Are wide-ranging age groups combined? Do kids train with adults? Do not accept this. How can an 8-year old student learn all the same skills as an adult?


Observe a class. Talk to students and families - It is the only way to find out what a school is really like. If they will not let you do both of these, walk away fast. Do not listen to any excuses.

Classes for you! - Want health and fitness? Choose a traditional style with time-tested exercise forms. Want real self-defense? Choose a school which teaches a complete self-defense system, and skip the "sport" schools which overly emphasize recreational sparring and tournament competition.

Stability - How long have they been around? Many new schools close within two years. This does not mean a new school is bad. Just be sure you are satisfied with the answers to the above issues. And certainly don't let a new school soak you for a huge down payment or a contract.-(Resource:United Martial Arts)
