All the martial arts schools that are legitimate,
like Warrington
Kickboxing Studio,
will have their achievements listed just as we
have on our latest news page. They will also have
their own background listed as well as clearly
display their certification.
Checking the background and achievements of a
Club and its Instructors
can not only help you to decide the best places
to join, but help you to avoid those 'Cowboy'
setups.
Unfortunatelty in recent times there has been
a substantial increase of people suddenly becoming
Instructors in 'Mixed' Martial
Arts systems / Thai-Kickboxing / Freestyle-Combat'
and they tell people that they don't need qualifications
and / or background experience as they are just
offering 'some fitness sessions' etc... which
is ridiculous, as real Martial Arts training is
a highly skilled and very serious occupation!
If you are aware of what to look for, you will
see immediately that they have no true lineage,
( background of training and becoming certified
from a Japanese or Thai Instructor ), and any
true legitimacy to be operating within the martial
arts industry.
Unfortunatlety, as there is no government regulation
at this time, all that people can do is rely on
such sources as the internet to check websites
or ask direct questions regarding proof of hardcopies
of certification. Most Doctors, Dentisit, Solicitors
etc... will have their certification on public
display as will genuine Martial Arts Instructors.
Additionally,
all Martial Arts Instructors and Fitness trainers
must be have Insurance! Insurance companies will
not offer this without actual Instructor certification
and C.R.B. ( Criminal Record Bureau ) checks.
C.R.B. clearance is required for anyone that is
involved in a business that involves interaction
with people on a personal level.
In some cases, false certification
is put forward by 'Cowboy'
Instructors so we suggest that you always seek
additional information on who it was that has
certified any Instructor.
Many 'Cowboy' Instructors
who do obtain false certification, will look to
'UP THEIR GRADES'
to make them seem more experienced than they genuinly
are.
For example, it takes 10
years to become a 'Level 4' or 4th Dan Martial
Arts Instructor. Currently there are at
least two people operating in the Cheshire area
with less than THREE
years experience as a certified Martial Arts Instructors
and are stating that they hold level 4 / 4th Dan
Grades. We know of this as several
people have recently joined Warrington
Kickboxing Studio after first enrolling
with other trainers and wasting not only their
time - but in some cases a lot of money.
All we can say is...
Welcome to Warrington
Kickboxing Studio
( Established in 1994, by Head Trainer Neil Holden
- fully Certified - with over 20 years experience
as a career professional Martial Arts Instructor
),
and .....
....Beware
of Cheap Imitations!
