Question
i was just wondering about how you know if you have found a good gym and trainer?

Answer
Well a good trainer is a good communicator, and someone that commands respect.  You can use their accomplishments with other fighters to guage their effectiveness.  As far as a good gym, of course equipment is important but also does the gym provide good sparring for you, and has strict rules about the use of the equipment.  A good gym is not one that has allot of playing in.  

Thanks,
