Martial Art Class

I've been talking to a few people, students and instructors. Some schools only teach 30 minutes and most are 45 minutes. I don't think a class that is only 30 minute long is valuable to the students...other than "it's better than nothing" reasoning. What do you think?

15,000 martial art schools!

I'm new to the martial arts community. I was wondering what are some things that I should look for in finding a great school?

What's a better school?

I read Sport Karate's post (http://www.martialweb.com/forums/Topic78-39-1.aspx#bm85) and got me thinking about schools out there. This is no means an insult to anyone but want to hear what you think. I respect all talents and those who has the focus to start a school.

After reading the post, I asked myself if a school that is owned and operated by someone who's been teaching for a while (and maybe produced some champions) is better than a school that is owned and operated by a grand champion...or vice versa. I find it to be good toss up.

I'm sure there are some grand masters out there who hasn't won a championship. But being a champion doesn't mean you can teach.
