Is this strange to any of you? What should i do? >> Some schools don't make it financially and are forced to close. Other schools change their names. Ask directory information for recent listings of MA schools in the area you are looking. A 1 hr. drive both ways to attend class is quite a distance when you are relying on your parents for transportation. One of your considerations in finding a school is location convenience. Check the prior location where classes were given to see if it is under new management. Sept. 1 was probably the projected opening date. It could be worse, you could have paid your dues, started training and one day gone to class and found the school closed. I have seen that happen in my area. On the bright side, i have seen schools change ownership and the students stay on in their old contracts. Good luck.

If not, nothing u can do. If so, probally nothing either. Someone stiffed you for your money and left. Most likely no-one will be able to find him which you take your lumps and learn by them.

Martial arts training is not for everyone. I don't > care how good the instructor is >> Just a thought: Your comment is quite true however, "liking it," I submit, is not necessarily the most important thing (although to us Americans it does seem to rank rather highly) about an endeavor. Any adult understands that to attain a reasonable degree of skill in something, a long time may be required...and it may not turn out to be much fun. A mature individual proceeds, however, in pursuit of a goal. (No military could ever function without a specific period of enlistment, for example.) For a child, well, children rarely select what is best for them, therefore are rarely (and rightfully) granted complete authority over, say, their diet, their educational pursuits, their religious affiliation, or their choices of recreational activities, to name a few. Parents, quite rightfully, make or at least carefully advise these decisions. Should one's parents choose for their child to attend martial arts classes for a certain length of time -- or in pursuit of a specific level of proficiency -- the child needs to comply with their parents wishes (and should be thankful for their parents support) just like a parent enrolling their child in Sunday School to learn about their religious ideology. As an instructor, I advocate thinking along these lines and do not see any abuse in requiring longer terms of enrollment. Should a potential student not think similarly they simply need not register. After all, the instructor should establish his or her programs and code of operation. ...and the student has the choice to take his or her "business" wherever they so please. Sincerely, S.E.
