			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have gotten a lot of questions about what my process is to get help choosing a Martial Art and school.  The website is unique in that it helps people avoid all the information overload. I have designed it to accommodate the needs of each individual. They can get the personalized support they need without having to meet me face-to-face.  The people that I have met in person have truly benefited from the consultations. The downside is that the process does take time because there are a lot of things to consider if you want to make the right choice. I literally took two years to find my current school. I made the time to visit all the schools in my area. I also made it a point to ask the right questions. The last part is so important!</p>
<p>While I certainly understand that not everyone has the same goals as I do when it comes to MA&#8217;s, I feel strongly that the steps I took can help anyone. I would like others to benefit from my experience while bypassing the usual pitfalls. I have tried to make the process as simple as possible while maintaining the integrity of a personal consultation. Despite this, you will need to invest a little of your time to get the best results. I must stress that your success depends entirely on you. You get out what you put in.</p>
<p>Here is a breakdown of the steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>You fill out the questionnaire as thoroughly as possible. The more information I get, the better the recommendation that I can offer</li>
<li>I review your submission. I later send you and e-mail that contains my recommendations along with the reasons why. Included will be a list of questions that you should print out and take with you to the schools you are interested in. THIS LIST IS THE KEY! It is the information the experienced Martial Artists would look for when considering a new school. It is the insider secrets that I looked for when I was making my choice. Now you have the power!</li>
<li>Once you&#8217;ve gotten the &#8220;inside scoop&#8221;, input your findings into the &#8220;Prospective Schools&#8221; survey.</li>
<li> I will review your submission and send you and e-mail with  recommendations.</li>
<li>Armed with all this information, you make your choice</li>
</ol>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t get any easier than that. The other option would be to just join a school and hope for the best. Now you&#8217;re ready, click the link below to begin.</p>
