I found that the teacher's treatment of the students gets progressively worse as they advance. He is all smiles at first, especially before they get you to sign the contract, then it just gets worse and worse until you leave. The proof is in the low number of advanced belts in the school. Any school you walk into with lots of beginners and only one or two advanced students, you have to wonder what kind of loyalty that teacher has engendered.
Pros: An easy black belt if you can pay for lots of classes
Cons: If you are serious about martial arts, you will want a teacher worthy of your dedication.
