It's perfectly understandable that a person might want to get a feel for a school's culture before attempting classes.  Let's look at some issues with the process of observation. +We have 2 main walls that are made of glass panels, so some observation of group class is possible simply by stopping by the studio and looking through the windows. +We have extensive video clips on Facebook, Instagram, and on this website that demonstrate the capability of students and staff.  You are welcome to view those. +Our lessons are rendered via private lessons or small group.  Private lessons are customized for the needs of the client in moving towards mutually agreed upon goals.  The process for one private client can be dramatically different than the process for another private client, and so could have no similarity to the experience you would have.  Next, while small group is not private instruction, even small group has some customization--so same your process could be very different than the process you see.  Lastly, our members can view being watched as creepy.  It's best to look at our many photos and videos to get a feel for what we do. +The lesson being worked on on one day can be very different than on another.  Let's say in kung fu, we are working healing and support on one class.  An observer could look at that class and say, "The classes are very slow, and involved tapping, massage, and stretching."  In the next class, we have advanced students working on aggressive combatives.  An observer on that day could say, "All they do is fight.  They don't care about health at all."  It is much better to simply take a 2 private intro lesson pack, so you can experience what lessons can do when customized to you.  Purchase can be made on this site or at our store site: watermountainstore.com . +We have online, virtual classes that can be taken very cheaply.  If you are hesitant about in person training, you can work those lessons in the privacy of your own home: watermountainvirtual.com .
