McDojo?, Round 2

[JonWal]

The cost price seems massive to me. £35-40 for 2 sessions? About £20 per lesson!

I pay £3.50 for an hour session in Karate. Obv everywhere is different but £20 a session? Is TKD really that expensive?

Maybe they meant monthly? That works out around £10 per week and for 2 lessons that's maybe above average.

That's 480 per year so roughly 4.6 per lesson, we charge 3 or 4 per person, discount families and less if they train 2 or 3 times a week. A club near us wanted a beginner to pay £50 monthly charge up front as well as a joining fee - which is also a good way of frightening them off. We let them train for free first and then have at least 4 lessons before they commit to join - even then the starting package has very little profit attached.

It may be a part time business but we also want to spread good Karate.
