I don't have money to train..


Recommended Posts

I have trained in martial arts for over ten years. During those years, I have spent $10,000 (Canadian) on training. .. I have come to the point where I don't have the money to train...Martial arts has become so profitable for martial arts instructors and definitely less affordable for the average person...It's frustrating for the time being, that I can't continue learning my martial art...I'll have to practice on my own, until I can afford it.

 

.Anyway, I was wondering how much do you pay for your training?

I only pay about $525 Canadian dollars a year. This includes the option of training in Goju Ryu Karate-do 7 days a week, tai chi training and kobudo. I think this is a very reasonable price. It covers all the cost of operating the building (which the sensei owns so he also collects rent from apartments upstairs), and provides him and his family a normal life style without ripping of everyone. There is by no means any lack of quality in our instruction, our sensei is just doing this for the sake of teaching karate and is not trying to rip anyone off.... I think paying $1000 a year is a little unreasonable, I might try to find a more affordable dojo if I were you :)

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

hey find a better place where it's a lot cheaper. or until you get more money you can just practice at home. the place i go to has really unreasonable price... get this.. it's only 3 times a week, 40 minutes each session, but 95 dollars. :o I'm trying to find a better art and a better place now..

It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.

My instructor is a Personal friend of me and my family so he say."pay me when you can " you can't get a better deal than that. lol

 

In the University i used to train karate for free.

 

You need to shop around, im sure you CAN find a more affordable place to train. Good Luck.

It takes sacrifice to be the best.


There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

Geez Im glad WV is such a poor state. LOL. I have never paid more than 40.00 a month for classes. I never charge more than 30.00 a month myslef. Not all us teachers are bad guys I make next to nothing teaching. I make enough to pay the bills to keep the dojo open and thats about it.
