aefibird Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 What are some of the good points and the bad points of your martial arts school? "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
1kickKO Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Some of the good points are the atmosphere, the people, and the sensei. The bad points? I haven't quite found any yet.
busling Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Good: * Plenty of High level students to help teach (some classes have 4 x 2nd Dan assistants) * Very experienced teachers * Has Kung Fu, BJJ and Kickboxing classes all in one spot * Permanent school, so has good equipment * Excellent mentality in the students (all helping each other) * No kids * Within walking distance of home and work * Classes 5 nights a week Bad: * No air conditioning * No showers Train Hard --- http://www.combatcentres.com/
delli04 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I just recently started teaching at a local fitness center that I lease space at.. So the bad points are I have restrictions on what equipment I can have in the gym.. No heavy bags etc etc.
ncole_91 Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Bad points: -High Monthly Price -Twice a week -1 hour classes Other than that, everything is good.
Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Good Points: EXCELLENT, superior, knowledgable and experienced Sensei!!! Oh wait..that's me! Disadvantage: I'm starting classes soon in my friends health club/spa that he just bought. If I do a high block, I can hit the ceiling. It's maybe 3" over my head. ( My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Bleeding Lion Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Good points: * Excellent, superior, knowledgable and experienced Sensei!!! * The assistant is just awesome and so ressourceful... you learn so much with him and his demonstrations (katas, board breaking...) makes you wanna get better and better. * Only 10-12 students max per class, so the sensei gets the time to correct people individually. * 6 hours a week (though i'll do 2 this semester) * its a university club so its FREE!!!! Bad points: * not having many students sometimes makes classes a bit boring. * i wish we did some bagwork and sparring * not enough higher belts imo We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle
traz Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Good: -Sifu is very experienced, talented, and helpful -Always lots of higher level students helping out -Useful techiniques that I enjoy dong Bad: - 2 classes a week - 1 hour a class - children...though thats because I'm a white belt. As I get to the intermediate ranks, the children tend to weed out and only the dedicated and proficient advance. Like a midget at a urinal, I'm always on my toes
Davantalus Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Intelligent instructor who teaches mathematics for a living and karate because he wants to. He makes things make sense. Good wood floor (gym) Just dirty enough to slide well. Almost one-on-one training. Usually 3 students. Oh, and it's free! Bad I'd prefer class four times a week rather than three. An hour isn't long enough. Inconvenient time. (4pm)
