This sort of thread belongs in the Getting Started in the Martial Arts forum, so I moved it here

It belongs here but I'm not a beginner!!!
I already knew what the club was like! What I wanted to determine is whether a bad club can paint a rosy picture of itself........

Perhaps I should have been more direct but I didn't want to influence your answers.

The website is VERY annoying, but the club itself seems to be pretty decent.
Go along and take a look, it can't hurt!

Are my posts visible????

Perhaps I am a little harsh on the club I suppose it's not that bad but it has nothing to offer me.

Chill bra! It's just hard to judge a book by it's cover.

So you are basically saying to us in a very round about way that the club sucks and you want to see if we can tell that from the site? No! From the site it looks fine, just like any other. I think it's kind of weird that the chief instructor is only 3rd Dan though. I wouldn't pay to study under anyone below 5th Dan, but that's just me. I'm not a good judge of a Karate Dojo anyway, all my experiences with Karate have been McDojos. Not to say that there aren't good Karate Dojos out there, because there are. I've just never studied at one. So why don't you just come out and say what you mean, say you think this dojo sucks.

OK telsun, I understand what you mean.

Just a reminder:
This forum isn't just for complete beginners; it can be for an experienced practitioner looking to switch arts, or in this case, asking for an opinion on a dojo.
