My son does Karate at school, and has progressed to blue belt.
The only problem with it, is that the kids are doing the same thing, over and over again, and don't seem to be progressing to other stuff. This is mainly due to it being a 'mixed' group. It is taught by an instructor from a club. Other than this it's OK.
A different club came round (to the house) yesterday, and is opening a new class very local to us - literally at the bottom of the road. It's on a Saturday am.
Anyway, I was happy to go ahead with it, to see how he goes for the next few months - I'd be taking him, but I've had grief from the missus, who didn't like the idea that we paid £25 for a licence (cash).
Now I've checked this up, and most clubs require you to pay for a licence for insurance reasons - this is correct isn't it ? We don't with school as it's through school, and the LEA.
My wife was 'overly suspicious', but I'll be staying for the first lesson to way it all up. You only pay when you go, which is good for us at the minute as about 3 of the weekends in the next 4-5 weeks we've already got stuff on. You can trial the club for about 12 weeks. The club are happy for him to continue through school, even though it's a different club.
Is she being too suspicious - the grief I've had is crazy... I thought it was worth a go - if he's not happy in a couple of months, all I've lost is the £25 'insurance' and the 'class' fee (£6 per time).
Any experts out there ?
