I did FMA for close to a decade, and have to say that the benefits have been more than great. Beyond the scope of learning an art, the concepts have really helped to improve my skills in other martial arts. That said, I unfortunately had to step away, because the way the school was being run seemed less than reputable.
Now while I know that no two schools are alike, I've been wondering if this was something rampant in the FMA community. I've seen classes cancelled without any given reason; workshops/seminars either postponed until more money was paid, or cancelled without any explanation or reimbursement; training sessions relocated (sometimes at the last minute); and instructors constantly arriving late.
Is this typical? I've never had this experience when doing other martial arts.
