Bob - what is a 'qualifying school'?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

A qualifying school is basically one that is an active school, and a positive martial influence. I'm looking for actual schools for this offer, not a club, or training group. Also, we want to check out their website, get a feel for who they are and make sure that we're compatible.

Do we need to have a website in order to qualify. Our website is still in the works.

It's preferable, but not a firm requirement. It's more so we can get a feel for who the school is, how they think, etc.

 

[shesulsa]

Interesting. We're a school but we use an affiliate's location and we use geocities to save money, so I guess we don't qualify.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

So you're saying you're just a club then?

It would help if you would define school with some criteria.

I would consider my dojang to be a "school". I rent space, I have regular students, I have dependable classes and I have a well thought out curriculum. A strike against me is that I don't belong to any organized federation, so I'm not sure if I would qualify.

I would really like to host a forum for my students though and this deal sounds great. When my website is finished, you can bet MT will be linked to it.

School, for the most part here, is defined as you said. Designated space, regular students (preferably more than say 5), regular classes. Org. membership isn't a requirement as I know of many good schools with no affiliations.

A club, in this definition would be a group of folks who get together in a borrowed back room, a back yard, a garage, or similar.

Some other things: Do you have a phone book ad, a school number that is answered professionally (not "Yeah?" as I got once. lol)

Shoot me the name and a description and I'll set it up for you.
