Beware of the McDojo! It would help to point out that some schools have a few locations but are far from a franchise. Here are a few more things: 1. Find out all of the costs up-front. Are there contracts? If so, for how long? How many uniforms do they need? How much are rank tests? Are weapons classes extra? What other equipment do they need? 2. Does the school do any community work/volunteering? 3. Are the instructors/school affiliated with any international organization? This isn't important, per se, but if they are then you can probably contact the organization to make sure they are legit. 4. What is the instructor-to-student ratio in each class?
