Best Instructor + Best School = Best Lift! is intended to offer helpful advice to any martial artist practicing any of the many styles of martial arts. It will tell you how to find and keep the best school and instructor for you, your family and all students of martial arts. This book is not a textbook on martial arts. Most Korean pioneers of martial arts faced many difficulties and uncertainties in the first years of their professional lives, primarily because there were no set methods of managing a dojang, and there was no general agreement on curricula. It is Jung's hope that this book will provide a concise self-study course for the reader to learn management skills and strategies specific to martial arts training and teaching. Jung has included many anecdotes from his real-life experiences. In addition, he defines specific strategies and management guidelines for instructors on the front line of martial arts, as well as for their students and potential students.
