Hello! My name is David Anders, instructor at Karate Works in Maumee and Whitehouse. My goal is to spread the importance of living a martial arts lifestyle in your family. I believe in our students living the best quality of life. The way we accomplish this is by achieving physical goals, while learning to live a life of unparalleled morals and values. We accomplish this through our modern system of martial arts.
Here are 10 ways of picking a great school for yourself or child:
Research online: The internet is a great resource for finding local karate schools. Look up reviews, ratings, and websites of different schools in the area.
Visit multiple schools: It's important to visit and observe several karate schools before making a decision. This will give you a chance to see how the instructors interact with the students, the class sizes, and the overall environment of the school.
Look for experienced instructors: Look for schools that have experienced instructors with a strong background in karate. They should be able to demonstrate their expertise and provide testimonials from other parents and students.
Check for a safe and clean environment: The school should have a clean and safe environment for the students. This includes proper ventilation, well-maintained equipment, and appropriate safety measures.
Assess the teaching style: Different karate schools have different teaching styles. Some may focus on traditional techniques, while others may incorporate modern techniques or use a more holistic approach. Determine what style will work best for your child and find a school that aligns with those values.
Evaluate the class structure: Determine the class structure and schedule to ensure it aligns with your child's needs and your schedule. Consider factors like the frequency of classes, class duration, and the ratio of students to instructors.
Look for a good student-teacher ratio: The number of students per instructor should be reasonable to ensure that your child gets the attention they need to learn effectively.
Talk to other parents and students: Get feedback from other parents and students to get a sense of their experiences at the school. This can help you determine if the school is a good fit for your child.
Check for age-appropriate programs: Make sure the school offers age-appropriate programs for your child's age and skill level. This will ensure that your child is learning at the right pace and not getting frustrated or bored.
Consider the cost: Finally, consider the cost of the program and whether it fits within your budget. Make sure to factor in any additional costs such as uniforms, equipment, and testing fees.
