It is a mixed martial arts school. BJJ, Thai Kickboxing, Karate. The instructors are 30'ish and are very in shape and seem to be extremely competent and aggressive. As corny as this franchise may seems to be they are actually having some students qualify for the Golden Gloves championships. Thats' says alot as thats no joke, especially for a Mixed martial arts school. Tournament wise TSK seems to do very, very well. I'm kinda torn as I like the school and the class I tried out. Very clean, very structured and yet tough. I'm gonna try another school and see how it compares. A school run by kickboxing legand Louis Neglia. I do have some reservations about studying too much of just that discipline.The head instructor at TSK said to me that the school is expensive but reminded me that there really isnt many mixed martial arts schools that cover these different styles as extensive as TSK. Looking around the Brooklyn area there really arent any to be found. Are good mixed martial arts schools normally more expensive then a typical TKD or kickboxing school?

They where convicted on violating Health Club membership laws back in the mid- 90's. They have since changed the membership obligation policy's to meet with state requirments. It was a class action suit filled in PA and it involved there membership fees, structure and refun policies. If you run there name on google it will show come up with all the info pertaining to it. I am not worried about getting out, I was just shocked to see how much more they are charging then everyone else. If there price was in the ball park this place would have been perfect. I just don't like knowing that I'm overpaying to that extent.

From what I gathered here a Mcdojo is defined as either an expensive highly commercialized Dojo, or a Dojo that values money before training, safety and proper testing when awarding belts. It describes a bad Dojo, It's prefix stemming from McDonalds(bad for you) I would assume.

Here are the details as told to me: 1 hour lessons Group lessons includes testing, promotion, and belt fees (how valuable are these?) I can't imagine how this very well known franchise could be in business when there rates seem so out of line with everyone else. It's easily double what most seem to cost and that's assuming no more then twice a week. I even got a corporate discount, as it would have been an additional $250.00 for a total of $1500.00 for 65 (group) lessons Just curious, should one treat these schools like dealing with a car saleperson at a dealership. I mean to say, do they change prices from person to person in trying to gauge what one can afford? Thanks again for all the quick replies.

I just went to a Tiger Schulmann’s Karate dojo and joined up. The costs was after a speacial discount 1300.00 for 65 lessons. If I go twice a week that's like $160.00 roughly. Looking around here this price seems insane. WTF! I believe I have 3 days to back out without obligation. I really like the mixed martial arts they teach and the instructors but it seems too be way higher then I ever anticipated. This was at a Brooklyn NY school. What should I do. Does this sound right?? Thanks for your thoughts.
