uchi dechi consideration, opinions?


40 cent

Recommended Posts

obviously a highly personal decison must be made by you.

 

If you have the time, $ and motivation, go for it.

 

as you know, radical lifestyle changes would be involved.

 

Definitely a thing for a "Young Lion" to do. Before you are

 

tied down by finances, education, career, domestic commitments.

 

do it when you are 20. you wont be able to at 30, and wont want to

 

when you are 40.

 

:)

 

If you like that program, go for it. It is not the only

 

uchi Deschi program for Kyokushin too. If you want,

 

shop around as well.

It seems a romantic notion. There is a link that describes the program half way downt the page. It is quite a lengthy pdf. Some of the information is different than what you describe. For instance fees are

 

190 per week up to week 26

 

165 up to 52

 

150 53 rd week on on.

 

perhaps this is an older pdf and the prices you've quoted are more accurate.

 

It does say that for every 12 weeks you earn 1 week off and 2 for christmas. Bank some time and make a tiny sum over 6 weeks a year? Of course a month and a half off would kinda screw up your training.

 

Even at 130 per week, if they feed you, school and house you, that is pretty cheap. Try going to university for that price.(~ 12 000 for 2 years assuming you don't pay during weeks off). I'm assuming these are in oz dollars - keep that in mind american/foreign readers.

 

I'd say it's interesting. You'd have people that are equally dedicated to the art vs. weekend warriors at regular dojo. The concentration of training and intensity would definitely put you into a rare breed of martial artist.

 

Personally I'm happy with the training I get for the time i put in. Therefore I wouldn't personally embark on this. To me martial arts is a hobby and i have a whole lifetime to get better at it. Do more research, confirm legitimcy, plan finances for 2 years, see if it really is viable for you.

 

After reading the pdf again, it sorta looks like they are relying on graduates of this program to spread karate further. Be sure of your future obligations or if they will continue to hound you after you are done.
