Cleanliness and the work atmosphere

You surely need to be aware of the teaching and the kind of people attending the place and you surely need to see whether the teaching style is suiting or not. There are some schools, in which the bad elements of the society attend, in some cases the teacher is one of them. so Beware.

The cleanliness of the place is important. you will feel to learn in a clean environment. There is less chance of you contracting a skin infection in a clean environment. if the place is not clean then there is a good chance of you contracting a good skin and eye infection. The school is a place of physical exercise so there will be a lot of swet so take this point under consideration.

Logistics

The place should be near your home and the time to trave should not be more than 15 minutes more that then it is not worth going. Because in the initial stages of the training, it will be a challenge to just reach home let alone doing training. 

Happy training.
