Renketsu, my clubs part of the AMA too, but the gradings are set out by The Contact Karate Organisation, which I think owns or is owned by the AMA.

 

Theres a real Mcdojo near me, its actually our clubs arch nemisis, they had a tournement one year and our team whiped theirs (They'll all dirty fighters), its owned by this guy who drives around in like a £60k sportscar (its a chain of clubs, rip off prices), anyway he charges about £100 for Kyu gradings and god knows what for Dan gradings, classic Mcdojo.

How much?!?!?!?!? (jaw drops open in shock)

 

£100 to take a kyu grade?? It's only £15 in my organisation, and that includes a 2 and 1/2 hour lesson beforehand too!

 

At £100 a grade you'd have to be pretty certain that you were'nt going to fail - I bet they charge full price for re-testing too. Sheesh. No wonder Joe Public often gives martial arts a bad name with rip-off merchants like that around.

I think to remember that we pay around 8 to 10$ for kyu gradings and 100$ for shodan. The fee gets higher with the Dan grades. I think its around 120-130$ for nidan.

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.
