That makes 107 teachers! 2 locations? My god, how many students do they have to have to have 100+ teachers? Is this place training a small army?
They have a mail order program as well:

A sure sign of a quality training center.

Now, heres another question...why is "Hanshi" a 9th in Kenpo, but only a lowly 8th in JJ when rank in 1 = rank in the other?
So, we have a school cross ranking dissimilar arts without requiring a demonstration of knowledge, issuing teaching credentials to rug-rats, with a mail order black belt program. The facilities are nice, but the rest screams belt-mill, and mcdojo.
