Goju_boi Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 is there a long term contract?what organizations are you with?how often do you compete in tournaments?Also look around to see if you see a lot of senior students.The reason is because that shows that the people that join stay because they like it and are commited.Also if you don't see too many senior students don't worry,it might just be a new school.Anyways good luck. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion82698 Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 No contract The head instructor is a 5th Dan. Been in for over 30 years. They have 5 senior students, 2 a 1st dan black belts. The other students are nearing black belt, but have been there for over 4 years. I'm very excited, but I want to give it some time to think on this as well. Last time I jumped into someting, I made a pretty big mistake! , and I'm still dealing with it.I'll keep you all up to date I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion82698 Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Well, I got the chance to meet with the head sensei today. They do full contact sparring. They do not compete. He said there reasoning behind this is, it doesn't get you anywhere on the street. They train for self defense. He said that I will not be looked down on if I go to a competition, but that they do not carry themselves that way.It's $80 a month. They train for an hour, but I can come in early and participate in other classes if I wish to. I'm going to keep this place in mind, but also shop around. I want to make sure that I find the right place when I get out of TKD. This place did leave me with a good feeling, I just want time to think before jumping. I made that mistake before I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
