Go to a School Because Your Friends Go

It is a mistake to enroll at a Martial Arts school just because you and/or your child has a friend that goes to that particular school. It certainly fine to look into the school your friend goes to but make sure the school fits your needs and wants before you actually enroll. Another problem with enrolling just because a friend did, if your friend drops out, there is a good chance that you and/or your child will want to drop out too. This is why you want to enroll for your OWN reasons. Depending on the dynamic of the relationship of the kids, it may be a bad idea to have them in class together. They may just like the class so they can be together to fool around and distract the rest of the class. Be sure kids understand that they must be respectful in class so that everyone can benefit from the training. It can be a great idea for friends to train together but it is very important that everyone is there for their own reasons. Having friends in class is just a bonus.
