Xano0001 Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I really dont have enough money to hire a master/teacher. Is there anyway to find someone that can teach me for a lower amount of money?
JusticeZero Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Look for less "flashy" teachers, and spread your net wider. Plus, you may have plenty of financial leaks you can patch up if you look for them. I'm not sure how low you are trying to get the cost or why - if you're eyeing some $300/month trendy place with their own facilities and such, you can probably get better value than that somewhere, but below a certain point it's just getting petty to bargain hunt.

Wow. I know my laoshi doesn't charge as much as he could, but I'm only paying $130 every 9 weeks. $300 a month is simply out of most people's financial ability.Ask around, that's a good way to find someone. But do a check on the person. There are a lot of imposters out there who claim they come from this or that lineage who actually don't. Fetch Daddy's blue fright wig!

JusticeZero Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I've heard of $300/mo before. It was certainly an outlier, but it exists. Point being that I don't know how many places were shopped around. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
fangshi Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I suppose $300 is alot but I have seen semi and private lessons go for that per class . Not sure about your area but there are several in my area that offer reasonable group class rates and even a few schools and teachers that are willing to work out some sort of arrangement with you . We are not so much individual beings as individual points of perception within one immense being.
granmasterchen Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 man, i've only paid 20 dollars a month for the last 10 yrs or so with my master.....must be nice having a master that doesn;t rely on teaching martial arts as his sole source of income! That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger

Adonis Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I know some of the BJJ gracie schools that charged arond that much after the first UFC because of all the hype and exposure but with so many schools around even they dropped there prices around 150 or less now. 300 a month forget that.
