i'm delicious

Potentially 6 times a week (M-W-F 11:30-1300 and 1800-1930) we pay $50 per month.  BB tests are $200.  I don't know how much for testing colored belts or if there is a fee at all.

What's it worth, to stand with my son and test side by side over the last 6 years...priceless.  Not to mention we have gotten to test at Kukkiwon, there aren't a lot of non-koreans that can say that.

The avg price in Korea is $65 per month 4 hour long lesson per week and a $70 testing fee to BB.

Was that hands up and chin down, or the other way around?

I pay £30 a month for two lessons a week. Gradings are £28 and are held every 3 months. Black belt grading is about £120.

$99 for 2 classes per week or $109 each for unlimited classes each week.  M-S  classes are usually 1 hour, ist 1/2 is all warmup and stretching. 

family discounts apply to 2nd (40%) and 3rd(60%) member; 4 or more are free.

TKD and Hapkido.  I could goto 2-3 classes 6 days a week.  Spar Monday and tuesday, drills wed, forms thurs, anything goes friday, saturday.

I assist the sparring classes with the under 13 kids, by assist read i'm the kicking dummy, from 4-7 on tuesdays.  I help by means of encouragement and proper technique as they bash me about the body.

Belt test are $35, more for Brown, red, black  Black Belt is certified by KKW.  GM Chang is a KKW certified 7th Dan.

It is a lot of money, but initially i started here because his contract is month to month, not pay for a year upfront on your credit card like every other school here in Atlanta.  With 2 little ones 7, 8 I did not want make them go if it was unpleasant.

As far as the experience for me it has been the best money i've spent in a long time.

what i've learned about me and the time i get to spend with the kids is priceless.

Still Runs with Scissors

Two roads divereged in a yellow wood and I-- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

i teach full time and our groups fees are £4 pay as you go or £26 per month for unlimited training. grading fees are £30 colour belt and £150 dan grading. i just had a big chain of schools open up in my area and must admit i was a bit unsure of what would happen to my clubs with regards to recruiting new members as the new schools are offering a free suit when first joining up but it turns out the fees they want are a bit crazy compared to the average in our area. they want £25 for once a week training per month, £35 for twice & £45 for unlimited so needless to say i shouldn't have worried so much as a lot of people have been trying they're class then running a mile when they find out the fees and a few of them have found the way to one of our clubs. anyone else been in this situation and if so how did it work out for you.

I pay £40 a month(dnt know what that is in dollars) for the lessons but that means i can go to as many lessons as i want as long as i can get to a club thats open on the night/morning. My coloured belt gradings cost £30 each(every 3 months then every 6 months from blue belt), my Doboks cost me £46 each. I wouldn't dream of selling my Black Belt(when i eventually get 1) i wudn't put a price on it. Its like a part of you when you get it so that is out of the question :)
