5 Thing's You should Look For Before Choosing A Martial Arts Academy

1. Martial Artists should hold themselves to a higher level of respect. If the instructor of the school begins to speak badly of other schools in your area then you know you are in the wrong place for you or your family. There will always be good and bad in every industry, the good ones know who they are and they do not need to try and help their cause by tearing down other school owners. The bad ones, well, enough said.
 
2. Next, how about the instructors themselves—Do they walk their talk? How do they look? How active are they in the community? Did they show a level of respect that you would be proud for you or your children to emulate?
 
Is there any doubt as to whether or not the instructor represents a degree of success you would like to personally have? If it’s less than yours, and what you want for you and your family, leave. If the Martial Arts instructor doesn’t look as though he or she has it “together” don’t even engage in a conversation.
 
However, if they do look as though they represent a higher degree of value for their lives in terms of what they are willing to do for themselves and others, well, you’ve obviously walked into the right academy.
 
3. The floor, when I use the term floor I’m talking about the class experience. If the instructor needs help while he’s teaching, how good is he?  Here’s another telling sign of the degree of professionalism in the Martial Arts academy—If the instructor can’t gain the compliance of a class simply and effortlessly then there is a problem. Their job is to teach class. Their job is to gain the active attention of each and every adult and child in the Academy, and by doing so they will lead by example.

4. Do they offer some kind of ‘Risk Free program’ or better still a ‘Guarantee’? If you are in a good school that prides itself on its reputation and its service they will happily give you a guarantee on their service and products.
 
5. If they charge for your Martial Arts on a ‘per session’ basis. This can mean one of only two things: firstly they aren’t intending on being around for long or secondly this is just a ‘hobby’ for them.

Remember we are talking about introducing an adult into your, your child/family’s life that can potentially have a massive effect on your or their future. Don’t leave it to the amateurs – look for those who are professional, and charge a professional fee, after all, we are talking about making an investment in your future.
 
Here’s What You Need To Do Next
 
Sometimes we spend so much time doing our best to research what we’re looking for before we make a decision (in fear of making the wrong decision) that we never actually get around to making the right decision.
 
The next step is simply this:
 
Walk into our Martial Arts academy and measure how graciously you are received and what steps are taken to gain your support and make you feel comfortable and welcome so that you can consider a Martial Arts programme here with confidence.
 
This step is simple. The step is simply walking through the threshold of Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy with your family in tow and asking this simple question…“Can you help me/my family?” “Can you help me and my family improve whatever it is that is important?”
 
Health- Physical Fitness, stress reduction, relaxation.
Physical Fitness-Strength, flexibility, coordination
Self Discipline-concentration, self-control, respect
Appearance-Weight control, muscle tone, and posture.
Performance- Endurance, flexibility, mental focus.
Self Defence- Safety, confidence, awareness
Self Confidence- Self-esteem, assertiveness, pride
 
Simply walk into our academy. Listen, we know that when a parent first walks into the academy sometimes they are a little nervous and apprehensive. Why? It’s a new experience. I assure you it will be unlike any experience you have had before, it is completely positive. I learned long ago that no one cares what you know until they know you care. I care about you and your family.
 
What we are talking about experiencing is my Adult and family programme.
A systematic means of improving you or your family…physically, emotionally, and intellectually…a programme that has survived over two thousand years of development without having anything written down until recently!
 
So, your first visit will give you a chance to see how I will create a connection, a relationship with you and your family and the important people in your life.

It starts by you calling now or walking in, meeting me, eye to eye, introducing yourself and explaining what your goals are and what you’d like Lynx to help you with.
