10 Questions to ask  when choosing a Martial Arts School

1.    Q. How many Black Belt Instructors are on staff? How many of them are Master ranked? Is there always a black belt instructor on the floor for every class? (not a
trainee)
A.  Mountain Karate Academy has 15 adult Black Belt Instructors, ten of whom are Master ranked. Cumulatively, this adds up to over 120 years experience! We also have
teen black belt assistants on the floor to assist the children with their skills. Never does a color belt lead a class alone!

2.   Q. Are all instructors certified with a reputable association and held accountable? Is the school part of a larger association?
A. We belong to the Eastern U.S.A. International Martial Arts Association, which has membership in 67 countries worldwide. All Instructors must be certified through this
association. The Grandmaster observes and approves all Black Belt tests.

3.     Q.  Is self-defense, stranger danger, and bullying education a regular part of the curriculum?
A. Yes, Yes, and Yes. Self defense and street awareness are taught in our classes. We have also demonstrated and taught  stranger danger/bullying education in many
area schools, and will bring our seminar to outside groups when requested! We have a complete Stranger Danger / Bullying curriculum.

4.     Q. How long has the school been in business? A proven track record is important!
A. Mountain Karate was formed in 1990. The Lehighton Charter opened in 2007.

5.     Q. Is the school community minded? Is it established and well referenced in the community? Is the student given opportunities for community service?
A. We have participated and headed up many fundraisers and our students are encouraged to participate.

6.     Q. Are contracts required or optional? Is tuition reasonable, but not "cheap"?
A. We never require contracts, but they are available for a reduction in tuition.

7.    Q. Is the training area roomy and is there adequate space for parents to view the class? Are parents encouraged to observe?
A. Our training area is a full 2000 sq. ft. gymnasium with bleacher seating.

8.    Q. Is the school a full-time venture, and can someone usually be reached?
A. Mountain Karate is a full-time school. Call us or email us anytime!

9.    Q. Does the school teach traditional martial arts, or are they more concerned with fighting? Is fitness and good technique stressed? Are the belt advancements "given
away" or are they earned? Is testing on-site?
A. We teach traditional Korean Martial Arts. Skill is stressed and belt testing is scheduled only when the student is ready. All testing is done on-site.

10. Q. Is the school kid-friendly? Does the school stress making the child a better person...disciplined, respectful, fit, and focused....rather than pushing fighting and
competing?
A. Come in and talk to some of our parents! We stress character building. We teach the children how to avoid a confrontation. We also teach them how to protect
themselves if a confrontation is inevitable.

Does your child know what to do if
approached by a predator?
Could he or she get away if grabbed?
Does your child know how to handle a bully?
Is he or she confident, alert, and fit?

If you answered "no" or "I don't know" to
any of these questions, you owe it to your
children to have them learn the skills they
need to know in order to stay safe!

Mountain Karate Academy is offering our annual
self-defense clinics where your child will learn basic
self-defense, stranger danger awareness, and how to
deal with bullies. This clinic will offer martial arts
instruction in a safe and fun environment, along with
