I went and found a blog post I did a while back on this subject. Avoid the McDojo! Here is a partial list of some of the signs of a McDojo I have found:

*When you ask about price at your first meeting you get the runaround, being told to come and give it a try without getting any information up front.
*Lengthy contracts (I feel any contract is bad business for the consumer but I would sign a 3-6 month if needed. Definitely not a 2-3 year one).
*Additional payment required to reach a special tier or group (for example, the Black Belt Club).
*Extremely expensive equipment needed that can only be purchased through the school.
*Excessive fees such as belt testing, etc.
*Children who have black belts
*Really strange belt designs, such as belts with horizontal or vertical stripes, camouflage, etc. Each belt is another chance to get a fee out of you.
*Quick advancement (if they promise a black belt in under 3 years walk away)
*Flashy demonstration teams
*No actual sparring or use of learned techniques. A place that focuses on point sparring without actual application won’t serve you well in the real world.

Force yourself to try different styles and schools before committing to one.

Your school experience is composed of three main factors: the instructor, the other students, and the style. Make sure they all “click” before you commit.

1. Cross train. Your martial arts will improve markedly if you use specific training for flexibility, strength, and speed. The older you get, the more important this is.

2. Train your brain. Learn to visualize and do it regularly. Good visualization skills will help both kata and kumite, and can be used even when you can't physically train at all.

My advice is to realize that you are human and that you are not immortal. We all grow old. With proper training, you can remain healthy, strong and flexible well into old age.

But generally you will never be as good at 40 as you were at 20. Our bodies change as we grow older and we will all be a lot happier if we accept it and learn to work with it.
