HOW TO CHOOSE A MARTIAL ARTS STUDIO

Martial Arts have been around for a very long time now, dating all the way back to the 3rd century BC! Whether you have decided to pick them up for self-defense, self-growth, or even just because you saw them on TV and thought it would be cool to learn, you have found yourself now looking for a studio! But where do you even begin? Luckily for you, we have done the research and can equip you with all the details you need to make the best choice for your new martial arts journey!

First and foremost, you need to think about what time slot you have available for martial arts lessons. If you are an early morning person, find studios that are open early in the day! If you are more of a night owl, find a studio that is open later. Simple stuff, but it often isn’t considered until suddenly, you are missing lessons and over stressing about whether or not you have time!

Secondly, find a studio that specializes in your preferred martial art. If you are looking for jiu jiutsu classes, it won’t do you any good to show up at a dojo that only teaches Taekwondo. If you have questions about which martial art is best for you, just ask a martial arts master or search on the web and pick what sounds most like you!

Next, do a visit before signing up for lessons. A simple vibe check of a dojo will let you know if the atmosphere is right for you. Some studios are very competitive. Some are aggressive and some are defensive. You should aim to pick a studio that meshes with your personal motivational style.

Once the first impressions have concluded, choose the one you are most comfortable and motivated by! Then it’s as easy as talking to the staff about signing up for lessons!

That’s pretty much it! Remember: time slot, martial art style, vibe check, and sign up! We hope this how-to helps and can’t wait to see the next generation of martial artists!
