ZeRo Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 i was talking to my sensei and he said something about haveing to pay £350 so you can do your gradeing for it!!! is this true or was he just haveing a laugh.
three60roundhouse Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Some schools do these things. We have to pay $150, but that is only to cover the new uniform (costs around 80 bucks), testingcost (wood, etc.), and a belt with your name embroidered in it. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
Pacificshore Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Many schools start at around $100.00 bucks for 1st dan testing and continues on up as you move up in rank. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
Ai Hate Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 i believe it's possible. but it would probably differ through each school/dojo. i know that here, you have to pay big bucks for the belt (after you passed the test) since it's ordered from japan.
G95champ Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 We charge 100.00 for Dan tests as well but we buy the belt with you name and out school name embroidered on it. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
ZeRo Posted April 25, 2002 Author Posted April 25, 2002 wow thats quite expencive. but i think its worth it. do the prices go up for the dan? if it does i think ill start saveing now!
Jack Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 £350? Sounds like a McDojo to me. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
G95champ Posted April 25, 2002 Posted April 25, 2002 Really that is not high. Considering you get a belt. We only charge 15.00 for other Kuy tests whcih we also give a color belt for. So really 10.00. All our Dan tests are 100.00 (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
sui-fuw Posted April 30, 2002 Posted April 30, 2002 now you know how karate can be a con.what do you really learn about this???maybe money can buy you anything? you would have to blame the west money making schemes and they do work don't they clowns ?
TKD_McGee Posted April 30, 2002 Posted April 30, 2002 Some ITF, WTF regulations require a hefty fee to test for the black belt. My school is 250 bucks I believe. I figure that TKD has around 5000 black belts in the world (According to ITF). That is a pretty elite force of people. Do unto others, as they done to you.
