[Brandon Fisher]

How do you all feel about $20 a belt test up to ikkyu and shodan is higher because of costs on certificates and all?

I do not feel $20.00 is a high fee to pay for a testing.

I do not feel $20.00 is a high fee to pay for a testing.

Neither do I but 30 punds is almost $40 which still isn't bad.

In my old school...there is cost fee for black belt test grading is $100.

In my club we charge £15 for all kyu gradings, which includes the belt.

Black belt gradings are £15, but this is only to cover the cost of registering the grading with our governing body and to get a black belt certificate from them.

We don't include the belt with the grading fee, they order it seperately through the club, either a plain belt at £3 or a tokaido embroidered belt at £70. Students order the tokaido belt through us to make sure that they get the correct club kanji on it.

My Sensei charges $20 every seven weeks for tuition, and $10 for the testing and belt fee. I can say this, there are no complaints.
