What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure they have certifiates from authentic karate masters or acredited programs. Make sure they have a curent liability insurance certificate. Be wary of long worded contracts and get copies of everything you sign. Understand what fees are involved beyond the monthly tuition i.e. gear, equipment, tournament fees (are they required for belt promotions), belt promotion fees and how often...what is the real total of financial obligation. Understand your exit strategy and fees involved with leaving a program.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Be clear about goals and discuss with the teacher in one on one interview. Discuss health concerns. Discuss use of video and photography as it is often used on-line and in brochures. Understand the level of commitment involved...not just financial.
