[Choose #1] The fewer the people, the more each student gets to work with the instructor!

[Choose #4] If I didn’t kow any better like a new student. I would opt for the cost. But small class size would be my choice. But that doesn’t get you the sale of a new student.

[Choose #5] Comfort is a huge thing that i was blessed with in my course, but price was just as important. Gear was included so i never thought about it.

[Choose #5] The instructor MUST and BETTER know what the heck he’s talking about. The issue here is confidence and safety. Like in some martial arts, too many people learn one or two methods and think they are ready to open a ryu and call themselves master.
