Because our poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. If you want your favorite martial arts school to win, you need to leave a review on its Patch Place.

The winning school will be based on a point system in which poll results and Patch Place reviews are weighted equally. In the event of a tie, the Patch editor will determine the winner based on comments and reviews on Patch Places. For full contest details, see the attached PDF with the rules. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.
