Hi there

There are a few things you should look out for. First thing to do is view a class or try out the first lesson to see what you think? If you get a bad vibe then its probably right.

Secondly ask the instructor questions to find out more information. Ask them what organisation they belong to, who are they ensured with, How long have they been training etc. Some people even ask to see instructors certificates but i dont know many instructors who would openly show them. All the other stuff can generally be cross checked on the web.

The bigger the organisation the better. Most of the big styles such as Judo or Akido will be part of large organisations that were set up to provide standards. For some of the obscure arts you may find it difficult to find information. Thats when it comes down to your own judgement.

Check out whats available in your area and dont sign up to the first club you visit.

The best instructors tend to be humble and polite people and will probably be happy to see you when you arrive. They should be able to answer any questions you may have.

Watch for things like good discipline of the students. If its a kids class are the children running all over the place?

Does the teacher shout all the time or force people to do things they dont want to?

You dont force students to do 50 press ups anymore for being naughty. You turn them away. Thats another sign of a good instructor in that they choose their students carefully. Its a two way thing.

And most importantly are people enjoying it!

If it looks like the Cobra Kai then walk out as fast as you can.

If I said that I could provide you with 6 simple tips that could make your closed guard more threatening to your opponents, would you be interested? If you're a grappling nut like I am, the answer is yes! But I have to warn you, the tips that I'm going to provide you aren't anything profound like discovering a cure for the common cold. And yet while these tips may seem basic, they could mean the difference in you controlling and submitting your opponent or just waiting for your guard to break down before you get hammered.
