Helpful advise.
There are a wide variety of martial art clubs about but not all have the best interests of it's students at heart.
Here is our tips to find a good club,
Make sure the club is affiliated to a recognised governing body such as the BKA - EKF - WKF, We are!. Even if they advertise that they have been on "Local TV / Radio" dosen't mean there're the best.
Ask to see the instructors licence, just because he / she wears a black belt doesn't mean they are Dan grades. Are they insured?
Try to avoid clubs that offer a "free gi" these are not of good quality and you may need to purchase a new one, solely from them, and at a premium, these are clubs that claim to be "acadamies"
Avoid paying trainig fees by Direct Debit, at our club, there are no membership fees and no Direct Debit requirements
Also ask about the timescale between gradings and avoid clubs that award a coloured belt just for turning up for a month. There should be a minimum of 3 months between gradings.
When you find the club that you feel relaxed and comfortable with then join, and you will walk the path of many before you.
