Re: Introduction

The only way is to give the styles a try, if you
have the option of several clubs in your area then
just drop in and have a one off lessen until you find
a club that you like and that offers you what you
need!!<br><br>Unfortunately in most cases its not about the style but the
teacher you need some one that is teaching for the love
of the arts and not just to line there pockets. The
best way to spot these people is to listen to what
they have to say. A good teacher will not spend all
there time telling you how good they are and how much
better there style is than all the rest, a good teacher
will simply show you how good they are without pulling
anyone down or making anyone look bad.<br><br>Good luck
