aefibird Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I pay £3 per session (about 1 hour & 20 mins), which I think is extraordinarily good value for the standard of instruction that I've recieved from my sensei. Between about £3 and £5 is average for MA classes in the area I live in, unless you go to the only commercial purpose-built dojo in my area, where thay charge £8.50 for 3/4 of an hour of TKD. It's always packed in there too, so people obviously think that 'you get what you pay for' and are willing to pay the extra just because of that principle. In that club's case you DO get what you pay for - the instructors are excellent (and one of them drinks in the same pub as me and regularly buys me a drink, so he's alright by me!! lol), but sadly, with MA, higher instruction prices don't always mean better instruction. On a related issue, do most people pay 'up-front' for a month at a time or do people pay session by session? Also, when you started in MA did you get your training suit thrown in with your first lesson/block of lessons? Recently, I've noticed more clubs offering 'package deals' of a block of x number of lessons plus a free suit for x number of pounds. Do people think this is a good thing or not?
