Advice for Beginners
Report
Ask, "Who is teaching the beginner classes?" The person who owns the school might have great credentials, but will he actually teach your class?. Are the kids and adult classes separate? It might sound fun to work out with your child, but remember that you have very different needs. You could be working out with 20 other little kids!.
Adult
Report
The internal aspects of martial arts include breathing techniques, meditation, introspection, and a focus on taking practice into your everyday life. All skills are taught in a clean safe environment with a focus on partners not opponents. The culture and environment of the dojo is unlike any other.
