Research School of Karate Open Letter

Research School of Karate Open Letter After eleven years of break, I started looking for a karate school for training again. I had a serious advantage, I have a lot of years of training in karate and has eaed a black belt. I knew exactly what I wanted in a school. I have and what? T want to be karate well.Good quality education, I would recognize. But this time was different, I had three children to be hoped I would be interested to lea. Once part of a good children? S program in the past, I knew what I wanted for them, too.No Karate program is perfect. There are things that I? T in all three schools where they are? Ve trained. And what? Sa good thing, it means that I'm thinking of me. (Even though I? M wrong. It happens a lot.) I am sure you find what you don? T with.So agree that? List? will help you, do you think you want to see a school of karate. Let's get started.     Teacher / school owners with too much ego? I believe that this list of suggestions of my worst traits. Unfortunately, you can take time to fully evaluate. Not? T let the eyes of students, teachers are bowing to deceive you. That? Sa good thing (I call you later.) Belonging to a larger organization? A national or inteational level, visit the website. The group are not I? Ve had formed with avoidable problems, things that have been solved using part of a larger group. ? No connection? could mean very good, in fact, probably, too much ego. (Follow the link below for an example.) Time black belt should be at least 3? Years? Least. In all tests, and not lose, but it will probably take longer. If you use this? Black Belt programs? ensure that this milestone (some even two years), tu around and run, no? t walk.Engaged teachers and students? You can not have the background to know if karate is a good quality, but you? ll know whether teachers and students are motivated. Speak respectfully to each other, who bow respectfully, they remain focused and work hard, the whole class? This is fun, while you are these things? The students follow the pace of the class? And, to move the teachers are, of course, all students in question? Black belt is not the end? The sign says? Black Belt is my goal? So what is the black belt? From the first hand, I? Ve the problem of weak post-Black Belt instruction. (See? Franchise? Top.) A school is a company to survive? But for companies to survive, the students? and the quality of teaching? must come first. (Read? Contract "," Next. ") The contract is not necessarily a bad thing? It 'true that some people need a contractual commitment of money to keep up with their studies or their child? S. Here you can find rules from month to month for the payment of prepaid annual contracts? Black belt warranty? Programs (Remember, do not go by that.) I participated in an annual contractual agreement with the group and none in the end, always a little 'but. And I had a long experience with the school! (See? Business? Top.) Disconnect only for children and adults only class? It 'lasts longer than us adults, children are some of these things in general. And we must be taught differently. Looking for a family of class, if you and your child want to train together.Six-foot high trophies in the window? Open touaments. The integration in the program correctly, affiliate touaments are a great leaing tool. A whale and lots of fun! Open touaments, but more animal whole. They could be very funny, could be a terrible experience, or somewhere in between. I? Ve never been to one. But I? Ve heard enough stories of people who have. And their experience to support my understanding is a lot of unknown people together by a bunch of strangers, invite the independent karate schools less desirable results. Enough said.     My suggestion is to read this list back down and write questions that come to mind. Every good teacher, how to answer his own questions for you. A good karate school allows you to access in some classrooms, without financial obligation, just ask. If you have won? T, the nearest school to your list.I? Ve very lucky to find a high quality karate instruction, good schools and teachers are out there. Good leaing Karate offers much more than what we see as a spectator. It is worthwhile to prepare for your school of karate choice.I wish you every success in research and training.Sincerely,   Bryan Hix   Cho Dan (first degree black belt)   World Tang Soo Do Association       My contact page   Your opinion about this in my article?
