  1. One thing I have heard consistantly about running a financially successful school is that the kids pay the bills. The income that will cover rent and utilities, even the insurance you'll need comes from the tuition of your children's classes. It's what lets you train the adults the way you want instead of focusing on cardio-kickboxing etc. That's not saying that you have to compromise your standards, it is just a business aspect that you have to keep in mind if you want the doors to stay open.

    Either way, good luck with whatever decision you make.

    Quoted for truth. Kids and Cardio Kickboxing pay the bills. There's nothing wrong with making it fun (and kids will learn better that way). But you have to balance that with preventing bad habits.

  2. I guess, playing devil's advocate, it may have been a little embarrassing coming into a new dojo as a nidan where nobody knows you, and having an underbelt correct you. I don't think it was handled well, mind you, but I can see where it could be embarrassing. We can say "egos are checked at the door" all we want, but until the comfort zone is there, its still human nature.
