Choosing the Best School in Shawnee

What parents should look for in a martial arts school in Shawnee, Ok.

Which martial arts school should you choose? That is a great question and I am not going to say this one.

There are several great options in Shawnee, Ok. Let me first encourage you to pause and ask yourself "Why do I want my kid to train in martial arts?" Take a moment...I'll wait.

First, pick a school that you can afford. There are many options in Shawnee, Ok. Call around first or visit their website. Remember that most schools require uniforms, test fees, and equipment so factor all that in. Also factor in how often promotions happen. Cheaper is not always better but still pick what you can afford.

Second, pick a school that has a schedule that matches yours.

Third, pick a school that has a focus on why you want to train or have your child train. Is it sports competition, self-defense, character development, fun, anti-bullying?

Fourth, pick a school with a qualified instructor in what you are looking for.

Fifth, pick a school that has been around a while. Most martial arts schools close within five years.

As I said earlier, there are several great options in Shawnee and I want you to find the right fit for you. Don't be shy about asking questions or asking for a free trial. One word of warning: Don't tell the instructor what you are looking for. Most of us are salesmen and will pitch our program to you to match your desires even if it's not our focus.

In closing, here is who I am:

I have been practicing martial arts for almost 34 years and teaching for 23 years. I am also an Oklahoma State Certified Defensive Tactics Instructor (C.L.E.E.T), a certified Force on Force instructor (Armiger Police Training Institute), Use of Force instructor, an internationally certified Hapkido and Han Moo Kwon master level instructor.
