fee's

i have just done some re-search into some of the local martial arts school fee's , i have a fee section on my website www.kenposw.co.uk , we manage very well on the fee's we charge , these francises must be makeing a mint .
i will be totaly honest here , at present i have 173 students but am aiming by the end of the year to reach 240.
with 240 students (an equal mix of adults, juniors and tot''s) that single venue will make £8500 a month , my running costs are under£2000 (yep thats right £6500 profit before tax)
now i am less than half the price of ANY of my competitors .
they must be raking it in
and ripping off the public .
our adult fee is £35 a month , untimited training , free suit , free licence , free gradings , i have gloves ect at the club so no out lay .
1 payment of £35 per month .
juniors £25
tiny tigers £15

matt fidde's tinys is £45 per month with a £59 start up fee, £30 for the suit,£20 for the licence and £25 per grading

mo "the twat" teague adult monthly payment is £80 ( ohh yes thats right )

local panthers is £70 for adults (no free anything)

i just think martial arts has become such a bloody rip off .

makes me sick , our job is to help people to overcome obsticles in their life , now that is only available to the wealthy .

i have just started running free (too true) free sessions on saturdays and sundays for a couple of hours.

rant over

cheers
