Who knows where good martial arts gyms are located?
The best recommendation is to find out names and go shopping. You want to avoid what are called "Mac Dojos." Ask friends and acquaintances. Visit each dojo and ask if you can attend some classes. You will be given the opportunity to see the style of the instruction and the kind of student they have at each.





Find out the qualifications of the instructors and with whom they studied. Also important is how long they have been a black belt, what degree they have, and their teaching experience.





Determine your own "comfort level" with the students and instructors at each dojo. You will be engaged not just in learning a martial art, but there is a social experience and interaction between instructors and students. That can be very important.
Reply:Look it up in your phone book. And once you know the phone number. Just call the martial arts schools. The best thing is talk to the instructor. He or She will be able to help you by answering your questions.
