NY_Karatedork Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 Hi There is a Karate club near where I live in Malone New York and the person who runs it uses a building that has a gym and it's name is the Ducote Karate Club and I have sent him e-mails and gotten replies but is a Karate club something that doesn't have a fixed building? I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
bushido_man96 Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 The term "club" usually just refers it as a group of people interested in the same thing. It does not have any relation to whether they have a standing building or not. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
NY_Karatedork Posted April 15, 2007 Author Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks, that is what I thought it was but I wasn't totally sure and I didn't want to say something wrong and embaress myself. I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
bushido_man96 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 No problem. In the past, I had heard of schools being considered full-time establishments, and clubs as part-time, but that could have just been a few instances. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
NY_Karatedork Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 well the part-time thing makes sense since the classes are only held on tuesday and thursday and each class is an hour long. I guess it's a club because there are not that many students so instead of being a school or dojo it's a club. But here is a odd thing, the man is opening another club in a city an hour away.

BlahuKahuna Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I wouldn't really stress out about what it's called, I would focus more on the instruction quality.
NY_Karatedork Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Well I just found out that the man now has three locations and small bell going off in my head that this might be a McDojo since I don't know how this guy can run three seperate places. I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
lordtariel Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Just because he has three locations doesn't necessarily mean he teaches at all three. He may have hired other instructors or had other students come up through the ranks. On the other hand, maybe it is. It would require more research and observation to find out. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
bushido_man96 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Lordtariel has some good points. You don't want to discount the place just because he has expanded. He may have produced some good students who wanted to teach, but could not get started on their own. Therefore, he may have helped them out.Check them out first, and see what they are like. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
NY_Karatedork Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks for the advice guys (or gals) I don't wanna sound paranoid but look before you leap and I'd rather be safe than sorry. I have ninja monkies in my brain and they are using it as a trampaline.
