What is the academys reputation?
Some academies are called McDojos for a reason. A McDojo is a commercialized academy with high priced, low quality, fast paced instruction and unqualified instructors. For exorbitant fees, these academies offer you fast advancement in the martial arts. The problem with all of this is that you still can’t really defend yourself. If there is a high student turnover in a academy, that should tell you something.
