Review content:
One common McDojo practice in martial arts schools is the use of long-term contracts (more than 12 months in length) to lock students into a monthly payment, frequently by direct debit/deposit from a bank account. These contracts are generally structured so that a student can only be released from the contract under extraordinary circumstances, such as moving residency a considerable distance, death, or severe illness. Students who are dissatisfied with their training or are unable to continue participating for reasons beyond these can find themselves needing permission to discontinue training or be forced to continue paying for unwanted lessons.\r
Sometimes a special kind of contract, and sometimes a motivation tool, a McDojo will often put beginners in a ""black belt club"" of some sort. Contractual black belt clubs will generally require the student pay tuition for a certain amount of time (multiple years), after which he or she is guaranteed to receive a black belt. Non-contractual black belt clubs will often require a student to pay a higher tuition rate to be fast-tracked to receiving a black belt, without the guarantee or the long-term contract.\r

All practices of Smith TaeKwonDo, the buisness has been established by a mediocre ex-kickboxer in order to make as much money as possible. All of the angles they try to sell you are complete B.S., go somewhere else worth your money. The text above is common practice for a lot of western style martial arts centers, save your money. Besides that the staff are a bunch of inconsiderate wastes of space that mostly let 13 year olds teach their classes claiming that they are qualified.
Pros: Absolutely none.
Cons: Inconsistent unqualified instructors, ripoff.
