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.

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"....

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.

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
