which one would you pick and why?
depends what you want out of your training... ive trained at both and have been just as happy at either.
i feel i got alot more personal help from the instructor at the smaller place but i got alot more help from having different types of training partners from the bigger school.
i think a small school would maybe be better for a beginner and a larger school after youve got the basics down.
^yah yah, what he said
i got good things from both
For a beginner, small school would be more beneficial IMO. You'd get a lot of individual attention & your coach would be able to spot weaknesses in your game, then tailor his teachings to that. Noobs get lost in the pond at a big school & nobody gives them much attention. Then they get discouraged when they are thrown right into the fire & dominated in sparring.
A blue belt or above, you'd probably want a larger class for more higher level sparring partners.
^ Thank you bro!
