martial way Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Im about to pay £10 per lesson which lasts 1 1/2 hours. There are no gradings and there are no insurance or membership payments. Should I join or is this too expensive? I am about to train under one of Dan Inosantos instructors Paul Finn and/or Ralph Jones. The classes are ideal for me as they teach wing chun, Jun fan gung fu, JKD, jun fan kickboxing and kali/escrima/arnis. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danege Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Ten pounts per lesson seems wayyy to expensive to me.I pay $50 australian a month, and i have anywhere up to 4 lessons a week. If you work that out its not much for what im learning. Hand to hand, heart to heartIf you don't come, i will not startBut if you start, i will arive firstAnd hit you continuiously untill i see red.

Sam Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Yeah that does seem a bit on the expensive sideI pay £25 a month, which gets me as many lessons as i can get to which is currently around 7 or 8 hours a week [28 hours month] so less than £1 a lesson which vary between 1 and 2 hours...But then again thats VERY cheap...I defniitely question the price versus training - if you're getting the best training around with loads of out of hours support and guides, good instructors and good equipment / purpose built training hall then maybe its worth it.... any more info?

martial way Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 No the £10 is just for a 1 1/2 hour class. Yeah I thought it was expensive too but no where near me provides both JKD and wing chun which are ultimately what I want to learn. I have been searching around for nearly a year and have had no success. There definitely is no place in my area that does the arts I want to learn.

AnonymousOne Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Its a rip off 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul. Warriors are action takers and not action fakers. If you are cruising, make time for losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudDragon Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Wayyyyy too much, especially with no insurance or gradings included. Another thing, never take a martial art because it is nearby, take it because it is a good school and you will benefit from it. A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!

martial way Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 How about £16 for 3 hours a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 £16 pounds a week or month?Either way its still better value than what you were looking at .... £16 for 3 hours : again depends on the quality of the training; class size; student quality, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martial way Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 The class is small so that the instructor can focus on each individual. It is £16 for two 1 1/2 hour lessons per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
