I WOULD like to bring to the attention of all potential martial artists the new craze that is in the area at the moment, this being the door to door selling of martial arts.
A team of young people are knocking at doors in this and surrounding areas trying to enrol people into their classes, often wanting enrolment fees before the person has had the chance of trying the said style of martial arts.
I would just like to say to anyone wanting to take up a martial art that before you go signing up for something that you have never tried take some time out to telephone your local leisure centre and ask what is on offer, you will find that more often than not there will be a style to suit you and very probably a couple of pounds cheaper than the door to door salesman are offering.
