  • Get to Know the Different Types of Martial Arts

A few martial arts schools will utilize a free-style form of fighting and self-defense that makes the most of the most popular disciplines, while other schools may have a particular way of teaching, such as a sport technique or even street fighting style.

  • Make Sure the Schedule Works with Yours

Regularly working out and training is a great habit to get into, so check that the self-defense school you want to join has a schedule that is consistent and manageable in comparison to your own. Look for a school that has a minimum of 2 to 4 classes per week.

  • Don’t Pick a Location Too Far Away

When it comes to a self-defense school, you want to make sure that it is within a short drive from either your place of work or home. The sad reality is that is you live too far away, you will quickly talk yourself out of going based on the distance.So find a dojo that is less than 15 minutes away.

  • Check to Make Sure Prices are Reasonable

You certainly don’t want to jump at the chance to attend the cheapest martial arts school in town, because you will likely be getting what you pay for. In Phoenix, the monthly cost for self-defense classes right around $100 to $175. Keep an eye out for add-on fees, such as for new student testing, uniforms, and sparring equipment.

  • Visit the Location and Assess the Facilities

If a quality martial arts school takes pride in their facility and equipment, it’s typically fair to assume that they take care of their students too. Quality equipment and enough space to practice martial arts moves is essential for ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

  • Get to Know Your Peers and Sparring Partners

Martial arts has always played a role in creating mutual bonds, building friendships, and instilling camaraderie the students. Don’t sign an agreement before visiting the school and talking with some of the other students.
