New England Martial Arts Dojo

I urge you to read this before you waste your money. This place is a joke. There are alot of people doubting the use of the traditional martial arts after what they have seen in MMA but this place doesnt even teach you the good things those traditional arts teach. For starters the people there are the nicest I've met at a dojo and the prices are chaep...but those are the only good things about it. This school will not teach you any proper self defense techniques for one, they also have NO sparring what so ever instead they do this thing they call sparring where you stand across from each other and throw a punch either high, middle, or low and you use different types of blocks to stop them and then counter with a strike without contact. Its bad enough when dojos only teach point sparring but this is rediculous. This place also does not teach a proper fighting stance or how to effectively throw strikes or even teach strikes that actually work, for example during the thing they called sparring I mentioned the instructor told me not to throw a hook and belittled Jiu Jitsu. I've read about places like this where a black belt was beaten so badly due to his improper training he almost died. No one is good enough to always avoid getting hit or always stopping someone with one blow so if you never practice getting hit you wont know what to do when you get hit hard. Save your money people go do MMA, or Boxing, or at least a school that isnt run by guys afraid to get hit.
