About This Site
So you want to be the next Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Helio Gracie, Chuck Norris, or Master Pan.
Congratulations and welcome to the wide world of Martial Arts.
You may be wondering what comes next. Where do you go, what do you do, and are you going to have a dragon branded onto your forearm as you lift a red hot brazier to exit the hidden monastery?
The Purpose of this website is to answer a few questions, give you an overview and maybe just maybe point you in the right direction.
Costs - How Much Money
Schools are free to charge whatever they want for their instruction.
You don't want to commit to a school if you can't afford it
Find out if there are extra charges for going up in rank, find out if there are organizational dues, tournament fees, mat fees, etc
Contracts
Many martial artists are wary of school contracts. Contracts have been known to be used by scam artists in the past or, occasionally by legitimate martial artists who will "stick it to you," enforcing payment terms of the contract should you wish to be "out" of it for whatever reason.
You are a "student", NOT a "customer"....
More InfoProblems
If you feel bullied or threatened in any manner, look somewhere else.
Does the instructor or senior students like you and the lower ranks to fear them
How common are injuries
If you have some unease or personality conflict with the instructor(s) you might want to look elsewhere.
Violence in the class - If you see an instructor hitting students, or a senior student hitting students, look somewhere else.
More InfoPolitics - Egos
Politics at work, fishing clubs etc or anywhere a group of us humans gather, is part of life
You have seen this for yourself
A Martial Arts Club is no diffrent
However with Martial Arts you can see someones ego in the way they train and how they enteract with other members or their club
A person with a big ego can be very dangerous to train with, as they have something to prove (how hard they are, etc...)
A good instructor will allways keep their own and there students egos under control - if not - take yourself and your money and walk away - there is always another club

Rank does not mean authority, for rank without wisdom means nothing
There may be wisdom in the words of a child, and even a 5th dan can be a fool
