If u oeople have the name of the MA school, why cant u just pick up a phone or visit the school to ask prices? Seriously... If ur too lazy just to call a school, what makes u think u think u have the dedication to make it through the training?

Reviews and opinions are perfectly understandable because nobody wants to waste their money or even worse their time. Im just wondering how people can be so lazy they cant call the schools for pricing even if they have all the contact info for the schools.

Wow i obviously touched a nerve. Well someone got offended by the word "LAZY". I mean if someone does their homework to tet the names of the MA schools, their address, and contact info but still has to ask anyone but the people at the school then what do u call it? Ofcourse the schools want students to go there and check it out so they can give their sales pitch. That is expected. I highly reccommend all potential students to check out schools before they invest their time and money. When it cones to investments its up to the individual to decide whether or not the quality of training is worth the price to them. Thats the bottom line. Some people are happy with themselves attending McDojos. My point is if they did their homework, whats keeping them from taking the next step and just asking. With that one answer from that guy ud think i was asking about Catholic priests and their extracurricular activities with young boys.

I think this all boils down to them looking for some recommendations. I am uncertain if it is because they are so lazy because I'm sure that is at least a little bit of it but I see it as they want a recommendation and hope somebody is from around their neck of the woods that can help them recommend a good school so they don't get taken by some shmuck.
I try to throw them some schools with a good rating and that's it. I'll let them decide whether or not they want to take my recommendation or not. After all, they can decide to either enter a martial art school or train with friends who don't know anything. I'd hope they are looking to join with a reputable school so they can train safely.
I remember when I first started looking for schools. I asked about a teacher I found online and then I went to see how their guys faired in competitions.
I don't think there is anything wrong with asking around on the internet for reviews of a particular martial arts school, since you will often get unbiased accounts of a school, as opposed to whatever the school representative will tell you.
Edit: Yes, I agree regarding prices; it's especially bizarre when you consider the person is actually hoping someone on this forum would be familiar with that particular school, that or they're hoping someone goes to the effort of researching it for them. The odd thing is, in the amount of time it takes them to even make the question, they could have easily found out the information for themselves.
I agree with you completely, martial arts take dedication, but if you are incapable of even picking up the phone to ask a simple question, you have got to take a look at yourself. It's a confession of mine that not just anybody can do martial arts over an extended period of time. But the ones that DID move on to become a higher rank at least showed true interest and SHOWED UP to the school itself to ask the instructors questions personally and get a good look at the school.
Why ask why? Just answer the question if you want or don't. You can't change the way people are or the "lazy" questions they will ask and most won't take anyones advice anyway...
> You must be young seeing that you still just don't get it. People will or won't do as they please without explanation. Also there is nothing wrong with asking questions of any kind on this site. You sound like the judge Judy of yahoo...
I dont know if its lazyness or just being naive. Some people tend to think that since this is an answers site, that they will get a real answer, but thats not always the case. Such questions are impossible to answer, but they dont know that when they are asking it.
Questions like is ___ a mcdojo? Or how much it cost questions, should be ignored unless someone really knows about the location, and site.
