What do you personally look for in an Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate teacher?
I am not just interested in your HOWS but also your reasons WHY.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to thoughtfully answer.
a. How important is the teacher's belt rank to you?
b. How important is the teacher's association to you?
c. How important to you is it that your teacher engage you in free sparring?
d. How important is the teachers age and general health to you?
e. How much would it effect your decision to study there if the teacher was obese?
f. How much would the lineage/generation factor into your selection of a teacher?
(Would you pick a teacher that was a direct student of Ed Parker's over a teacher who was 3rd or 4th generation even if the 4th generation teacher was the more clearly skilled and knowledgeable )
