Yes it does sound expensive.
Are the classes all of those Martial Arts combined in the classes or separate?
For me my dojo it is only a karate school with a little bit of Arnis thrown in when it suits my sensei (and only to the advanced adults class). And I only pay $85AUD ($66.36 US) which includes tax and that is a monthly fee (includes unlimited training, gradings, insurance, belts upon promotion).
then the only things we pay extra for are for mits + pads (most will normally buy the AKF or WKF Approved gear) which is usually rather expensive (can cost at a minimum $90 combined), groin guard (for males required), mouth guard (Not much $6 minimum). Then belts that we need to get replaced if it doesn't fit anymore or lost.
Finally Gi's; we get one standard when we pay and sign up to do the introductory lessons. Otherwise free to buy our own but they cost varying amounts from $30 (low range) to $200-300 for the better quality gi (ie Seishin, Tokaido etc) |

Hey amolao,
I think it would be hard for people to say if it was expensive without more info. Where do you live? For example, in San Francisco, you'll have a hard time finding a nice 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo for less then $3,000 a month. But that's the cost of living out there. So it sort of depends on where you are, just as much as anything else.

| I'm from NJ and we are limited as far as styles to choose from unless you're from Phylly or NYC. the teacher open up a new school he teaches mon wed and fri. one week he'll teach striking the next week grappling and throw a little krav maga there are no contracts you buy what he calls credits so if you train all 3 days of the week in a month it comes to $180 |
