I plan on exposing some flaws and some good accurate points about the different types and styles of local martial arts schools that are probably out there in your town or city. Not all of these dojos are created equally however. I am going to show you a hard nosed approach to picking the most appropriate dojo to get the most from your training. If you are looking for valid self defense applications in your training style, this article will expose the light!
I want to share some advice on local martial arts schools so you can get the best self defense training for your dollar and get accurate skills. There is a lot of misinformation out there on what makes a martial arts dojo good.
One myth is that the local martial arts schools with the most trophies doesn't mean much considering the dojo can give their students trophies or just because the student chooses to keep his trophy at the dojo doesn't mean anything compared to reality self defense. Always remember that trophies are only examples of winning martial arts tournaments, not street fights. It doesn't mean the guy who got the medal survived a mugging/stabbing attack.
You don't want to fall into the trap of local Mcdojo martial arts schools that limit active aggressive sparring until three belts ahead of white is silly and nonsense. You should be sure there is active sparring in the martial arts dojo you decide to look into. You want a martial art that is going to make you fight and fight often with safety gear. The only way you can ever develop real fighting skills is doing this.
You want to also consider how long the instructor has been a blackbelt, and how long he has taught. A local blackbelt martial arts school instructor with multiple dans on a black belt ensures that you will be learning accurately from a certified instructor. So be sure your instructor has 2 or 3 levels past blackbelt and be sure he's not some punk kid 18 year old with a blackbelt in Taekwondo.
Another active thing you can do is interviewing your soon to be martial arts doo teacher on why he should teach you and what he has learned himself. The best instructor you can choose is someone who actively encourages sparring even if its sport based!
Whatever you do, make sure you do your research on the different styles of combat, and dojos!
Another thing I highly recommend you download my 2 free street self defense eBooks right now!
