| Welcome
to One Tree Martial Arts!
Since 1999 our goal at One Tree has been to provide quality,
science-based martial arts education and training to individuals
seeking to be able to protect themselves and benefit from
the healthy lifestyle which comes from martial arts study
and practice.
For
individuals without any martial arts background, or even those
who may have some experience in the past, choosing a school
can be a confusing task. While many assume that "karate
is karate", the fact is that there are many things to
think through BEFORE even choosing to visit a school. Let
us help you toward making the right choice for your martial
arts journey. more... |

Karate,
MMA and Self Defense Oh My! —
How do I choose a good martial arts school? |
|
There
are many things to look for in a quality martial
arts school. Something that may help is to look
at schools as institutions of higher learning such
as a college or technical school. The level of professionalism
in school will directly reflect on the level of
training received.
Look at the facility. Is it clean, well kept, tastefully
decorated and is there pride taken in it? Is
there proper training equipment that is safe, clean
and organized? Is the facility large enough
to accommodate good training? |

Look
at the instructors. A great martial artist may not
necessarily be able to teach. Did they go through
a training program or did they just get thrown into
a teaching role? What were the requirements for
them to be put into the role of instructor? Do they
relate well to people, understand various learning
styles, promote safety and respect, demonstrate
patience and understanding and can they inspire
students to push themselves? Do you like the instructors?
You will be spending a lot of time with your teacher—are
they personable? Will you enjoy having them teach
you?
Look at the philosophy. Every school will have it's
own focus. Some will focus on tournaments and performance
while others will lean towards sparring. Know your
goals and make sure the school you are looking at
matches. More on types of
schools here. |

"The
benefits
of training at
OTMA have been tremendous..." |
"I
started taking martial arts lessons originally to be able
to defend myself. Now I know that I can take care of myself,
but I have also become more physically fit as well as
confident. My energy level has increased and I am having
a great time! Thank you Master B for all you do for us."
