In search of the true meaning of 'Membership'?

The British Kempo Ju-Jitsu Federation is a non political multi style organisation, it is founded on groups who share a common goal in martial arts, we use the internet to communicate regularly with each other and dispense with the age old 'lets meet up and have a meeting' environment. We do not hold annual meetings and information regarding finances are down to the individual member groups.

Becoming a member of the BKJJF is very easy and for the Associate level membership this is completely free and allows new members to post their details on our website, get help building their own site and allows them to attend our courses.

We have a wealth of experience that members can plug into from Chinese styles to Japanese, Korean and other European and Global styles, access to this is competely free of charge at Associate Level membership, so if this is a good thing, why is it so many clubs and instructors still follow lesser qualified and poor quality instructors who frequently over charge and under deliver?
