I’m often asked, “what does martial arts training cost?” The answer is complicated as we have several programs (with 4 different easy pay options each), and need to do an evaluation of each student before we know which program is going to be best for them. So we sell a Starter Program that allows us to evaluate the student and gives them the opportunity to try us out too. The starter program can be accessed elsewhere on this site, but I also have some questions to ask you?

What does it cost for a personal trainer who makes sure you work hard every class, not because you pay them, but because they sincerely care?
What does it cost when you child keeps quitting jobs, school, relationships, etc because they never developed perseverance?

I’m not saying martial arts training can do all of that, but in my 36 years of teaching, these are some of the benefits I’ve heard from students and parents. Martial arts training does cost money. Our staff spent their lives traveling the world, experiencing some pretty harsh realities and investing in their education so they can share this with our students. Don’t see this as spending money on martial arts training, it’s a smart investment in your future or the future of your child. The returns on that investment can be incredibly, positively life impacting. No one ever earns their Black Belt and regrets it.
