martial arts and student/school contracts: do you think this is fair?

[ST]

The school I wanted to go to makes you sign a contract saying you can't start a martial arts school for two years once your contract is over...i dont like that idea, what are your thoughts? Thanks.

[ginaSantos]

really retarded (no offense to special needs people) and I wouldn't go their bcuz they are probably afraid that you'll start a buisness and easily run them outta buisness

The school probably sucks immensely I say don't go there at all ever.

Very bad idea. Contracts in general aren't good.

I wouldn't go to any place that makes you sign a contract because they are usually only in it for the money.

[StarvroTheVanillaFace]

Don't sign.

Find another place that doesn't have contracts, only memberships. Don't ever do anything that feels uncomfortable to you.

Contracts are traps.

Is this something in where you get a black belt in 2 year kind of thing?? How long does the contract last?? 1 year? 2 years? Do you really want to be trapped in a contract for that long? because I have been training for 10 years and I am not ready to open a school wouldn't dream of it!! This is most likely a mcdojo!
