Questions & AnswersHi, I'm Mike Payne, owner of the Academy for the Martial Arts, speaking on behalf of Expert Village. I will discuss the topic of what to look for in a martial arts school. I think that most students really want to be challenged. I think that there is nothing like really and truly earning a black belt. One of the things, that I didn't really agree with in the beginning, was some of the training that cause injuries and things like that. Most sports, nowadays, have figured out ways to be more efficient in their training and produce better results in their athletes. Martial Arts is certainly like that. Some people, twenty or thirty years ago, used the term dungeon days when referring to martial arts. I like the work ethic that martial arts has almost always had. I think that we've come a long way in our training techniques to have more safety.
