Most karate schools advertise character building, confidence, and discipline. When looking for a karate school, we feel it is important to know what to ask to find out what each school really offers.
How long has this school
been open?
What will lessons cost you?
Is there a down
payment required?
Is there a registration fee?
Are there
any additional or hidden fees?
Are there belt, stripe or test
fees?
Are you required to sign a contract?
Are classes age
appropriate? Do they offer different instruction levels for
different ages?
Are Life Skills a part of the curriculum?
What
is the school's philosophy? What kind of goals do
they set for their students?
Specifically, what part of their
curriculum is helping students improve self discipline?
How does
the school reward effort and good behavior at home and in school?
