The good, the bad and the...


Recommended Posts

Karate:

 

Good:

 

1)Friendly and knoledgeable instructors

 

2)They allow me to take 2 classes so I go twice a week but my class lasts 2 1/2 hours.

 

3) Very nice karate style.

 

4) Very inexpensive.

 

5) Interdisciplinary teaching (frequent seminars on other MAs)

 

Bad:

 

1) Not so close to my house.

 

Good and Bad:

 

I'm the oldest student (by far) so the workout for me is quite demanding. On one side is good because it forces me to push harder on the other it is not taylored to my needs and capability.

 

Tai chi chuan.

 

Good:

 

1) Very knolegeable instructors.

 

2) Quite close to my house.

 

3) Friendly atmosphere between students and some instructors.

 

4) Side courses (Instructors, Tui Na, other Kung fu styles, referee etc.)

 

Bad:

 

1) Combat application starts at quite high level (after minimum 2 years of practice)

 

2) They don't allow me to take 2 classes a day.

 

(They used to allow but now they don't allow me any more)

Mostly a good bunch of people (a couple of annoying ones but I won't play with them any more)

In my old TSD dojang:

 

Good points:

 

Great instructors

 

Reasonable prices

 

Classes 6 days a week

 

Didn't have to go elsewhere to cross-train

 

Great workouts!

 

Bad:

 

Having the young instructors (16 years and younger) teach the adult classes when the master instructor was out ...... ggggrrrrrrrrr

 

I do TKD now.

 

Good points:

 

great workouts.

 

Knowlegeable instructors.

 

The people and instructors a friendly and willing to help.

 

This is the only TKD school I know of that it's a "you-know-what" to get a BB here!

 

Bad points:

 

Have to go elsewhere to crosstrain (and instructor isn't very open to it anyways).

 

Tuition is a little expensive in my oppinion (doesn't really need to be that high).

 

We are allowed to go only three days a week (max).

The Good:

 

-Knowledgable, dedicated instructors

 

-Every class is something new and exciting, still not boring after almost 9 yrs.

 

-Friendly, comfortable environment

 

-Classes organized by rank AND age

 

-Instructors are understanding of different students' needs

 

-Since I'm 14, almost 15, I don't have to pay every month, my parents do :D (The benifits of being young and "dependent" :lol: )

 

-I don't have to go to a McDonald's or supermarket to get a job like most of my friends

 

-Main and back dojo

 

The Bad:

 

-Tournaments have to many rules

 

-The training has gotten progressivly easier over the years :(

 

-Not that much full-contact sparring

 

-Small main dojo

 

-Weapons classes are either once a month or you have to get private lessons (privates are only 30 min.)

 

-Private lessons aren't cheap (I pay for those, feel bad for me... :roll: )
