It is very important to carefully chose the right style and dojo (place where one learns martial arts) to begin your training. You can generally get a feel for the place by walking in the door and talking with the staff members. If they don't have the time to talk with you, then move along to the next studio. A good studio will also let you try out a few classes before you join to see if you like the way that they teach the curriculum.

2. If I achieve rank in another style, do I get to keep it?

If you have been ranked and have proof, then we will evaluate you on your material and place you accordingly in our system.

3. Will it cost me a lot to train?

The cost is very affordable and we offer half price reductions for the second family member(s).

4. Will I have to sign a long term contract?

To put it very simply, NO. We want our students to have flexibility because you don't know what kind of situation may pop up. Ex. Family illness, job relocation to name a few. While on this note, be very careful with studios that ask you to sign a long term contract.

5. Am I too old to start training?

No one is too old. At Lotus Self Defense Studios, age is not an issue, we focus on the individuals desire to learn. The nicest think about Lotus Studios Kempo is that the system allows for flexibility. If a particular person has a troubled arm or back injury, we don't ignore it but rather, we will show you how to strengthen these areas so overall body development will increase. We've had people start at 5 years old and go up to 73 years old. Everyone can benefit from martial arts training whether it's for physical development,self awareness, focus, self-defense, or stress relief. The rewards are numerous. So come on in and try a class, The rewards will last a lifetime!!
