By Carolyn King


There are many reasons why parents would like their child to learn martial arts, that includes self defense, mental, physical, and spiritual development, and to let them join competitions. These have different types, jiu jitsu, taekwondo, karate, and more. Whatever your reasons for joining a martial arts Vancouver BC school, it is crucial for you to select the right school.

When choosing a school, make use of the same approach you use when choosing a school for your child. Even when a teacher has a black belt or a champion in many competitions, its does not still guarantee that they are a good teacher, here are what to look for in a martial arts school to get the value you paid for.

Facility. Expect to find an organized and clean facility. When the looks of their facility is nowhere near professional, this only means that the services being offered by them are not good. Take a look at the first aid kit they have and see if all the medical supplies inside are correct, it should not contain band aids only.

Instructor. Good instructors will work with you to help achieve your goals. With the right instructor, there would be no reason for you to not love your training. All the instructors in that school along with their staffs must be professional, personable, and courteous. During your visit there, observe how instructors communicate and teaches their students.

Attitude. The attitude of their instructors and students can indicate school spirit. Avoid those instructors who treat students with no respect, yet they demand the surrounding people to respect them. Discipline and respect could be natural or forced. Observe how students react when instructors are not around.

Attitude. Aside from their credentials, look at their attitude as well. If you have a negative feeling about their staffs and instructors, then just look for another school. Trust your instincts and do not ignore it because most instincts are true. Only decide to go with that school when you are welcome by them and you feel comfortable around them.

Style. This means the type of combat and form of teaching. Ask questions to the instructor so you know how they teach their students and what form of teaching are they using. As mentioned above, there have different types. Talk to specialist to find out which combat is right for you. Individuals who are suffering from heart conditions must not choose Taekwondo as this would be too much for them.

The cost and your budget. Many schools makes you sign a contract so that you will stay with them for a period of time. Read the contract carefully before you sign them and do not hesitate to ask questions for things you did not understand or you want to clarify. Most schools offers trial lessons so you can experience their classes first before you need to commit longer to them.

Choose a school that offers a trial lesson. Trial lessons are important so that you can have a first hand experience of their school without signing a contract just yet. With this, you may choose another one when you did not like your experience. Trial lessons are for free, so stay away from those who charge you for it.
