and it dont seem right to do the same style with somebody else
It's not like a dog who can only have one master........go to another one and see how you get on
I reckon studying under a few helped me no end

I'll be happy to learn a different style with somebody else but not the same.
Over the years our relationship has changed from coach and student to form a friendship.
The way I see it. You cant put a price on friendship.
Anyway this is about how much a lesson costs

£30 pcm for Shotokan Karate
3 one hour sessions per week + as much self-practice as you want in the dojo at any other time.
Thinking about it, the club has 2 locations and I could go the other one (nr Ilford) for 2 additional sessions a week with no extra charge.

My wife and kids go Ju Jitsu twice a week.The kids are charged 4.50 each for one hours teaching.Which is quite expensive if you ask me .My wife does not pay because she also teaches there.
But the real stinger is the grading .My son has recently taken his black belt and it was about 60 quid ffs.
My wifes last grading cost us about 180 ffffff ffs !!!!
She has been doing it for years to be honest and I would not like to total the full expenditure in that time.
However they enjoy it and thats worth it I suppose,when I consider what my beer has cost me over the last 15 years or so.!!!!!!

If your anygood and show signs fo progession and have a passion for it then I will teach for free. The payment comes from watching your student progress from your teachings.

I think my Gradings cost the Paper and the print the Printed on so the Teacher doesn't have to fork out of his own pocket. One of my teachers didn't do a grading for 10 years!!!

£5 for an hours kickboxing at my usual gym, £4 at another I go to and i used to pay £4 for 90 mins Shotokan.
Both my current kickboxing coach and my Shotkan Sensai have both had various people they teach for free. Usually kids who's parents have been made redundant or adults who have somehow lost the ability to pay but show spirit.

My Son has been training/Grading for around 10 years now and it has cost us a Bloody fortune over the years. His lessons cost around £30 a week (over 7 days)
. Then theres his kit and training aids + license. He fights all over the world, new zealand, puerto rico, Germany, Ireland, Mexico to name but a few as well as nationwide. It has cost us £1000's over the years and continues to do so. But it's worth it as he loves it and he has progressed very far, world titles, european, and british. He has been to the world marshall arts games twice and won gold medals both times as well as silvers and bronze in different categories.
We have tried to get him some sponsorship over the last couple of years but have so far been unsuccessful. He's 14 years old so a few more years and he can get a job and fund himself, then I can spend more on Mods for the Scooby

Started around xmas, now training 2 or 3 times a week and really enjoying it and its one of those things I wish I'd taken up earlier in life. What's nice is that it compliments my other fitness training & I'm not totally knackered after it. Need to sort my breathing out though.
I've had my first grading, passed, and there is another in July. Love Kata and a supreme moment was doing it on a totally empty sandy beach in NW Donegal with the sun setting over the Atlantic, beautiful.
I'm still cr@p though and use the wrong limbs all the time! Guon kumate the other day and I couldn't remember which block and ended up getting kicked across the dojo laughing! Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me.
Well recommended for anyone thinking about it

To answer your questions,
The Hall space comes from my Gym which is free.
We already have mats at the Gym but to be honest we don't really use them as most of our style doesn't requre them. I already have a 1st aid course which I have to renew every 3 yrs (which is up to me) As for Insurance, they Student whould have to to pay this which I believe is 20-25 for the year.
