No you are not….”one who is impatient in trivial matters can seldom achieve success in matters of great importance.”
I achieved my black belt in TKD and it changed my life…
You gotta believe me….stick with it and you won’t be disappointed
How AWESOME will it feel to never EVER be afraid AGAIN?
TKD can do that….what price for PEACE OF MIND…??
GOOD LUCK and …

Wow, of course you are. I read in a Taekwondo guide that monthly cost should be about 30-100 dollars a month. The question is do you think you’re learning anything?

Yes you are, and for a sport that is for kids.

At Jason “the psycho” Suttie’s Muay Thai gym, it costs $NZ75 per month, cheaper if you go for the 3 month ($61), 6 month ($58) etc
he is a K-1 champ, and many other K-1 fighters and up and coming fighters train there. the rates are cheaper if you are doing it for the ring, but the prices above are for those that want to train all the way, but not get into the ring for a title chance.
so you tell me, is your instructor able to take you to the top for that price. remember that I quote New Zealand dollars, so do the maths. I believe you are being ripped off.
but you may not like the idea of Muay Thai, but it is the real deal. no belts, just training like a champ.
if you want to walk fearless, this art is worth a look.
but some people believe that the more you pay, the better you get, and others just love TKD. so the choice is yours.
edit: after converting it the fees look like this: NZ$75 (being the month by month, and the most expensive way to buy)=
NZ$75=US$53, £26, €39, AU$66 (average)
so for TKD you are getting ripped off. but certificates and trophys are awesome to LOOK at arent they? I prefer a solid insight and fierce spirit. you only get hype from TKD (in my Muay Thai/bouncer opinion)

It depends on where you live. I charge $90/month. In some cities I’m sure $150 is typical.

the only thing wrong with your question is that you started it by being interested in taekwondo.
any amount of money is too much for TKD IF you are learning it for selfdefense!
IF you just want to learnit because it maybe “fun”… then i guess 150 is not that bad to piss away. beware of contracts and programs.

I think u r getting ripped off. It depends on the persons interest level ,some people who are very interested in this art are being taught free of cost.
Just bargain with the instructor and show that u r commited to it and still if he doesnt reduce it , ITS NOT WORTH LEARNING FORM HIM.

in australia tkd is at most $45 dollars,anyone paying more is getting ripped.anyone who pays for it at all isn’t much better off.this is what you get all inclusive for $50 in aus.
A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don’t understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It’s definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don’t care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate’s.
The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can’t find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate.

Sounds pricey, but it could depend on where you live. I know some of the franchises charge more based on the city. Chicago is going to be more expensive than a small suburb in Indiana or West Virginia. But that’s real estate costs for you. I would look around more and compare other schools in the area. Occasionally, you will find a traditional TKD school that is worth $150 a month, but it is very rare.
And don’t do a long term contract at a price like that.
Best of luck.

I hate to say this about some of the other people that answered you, but … they are idiots!
They have never been to your school and can’t judge it’s value. Some people pay $20 a month and get crappy lessons from a guy who watched “Karate Kid” who now calls himself a master. Some pay $500 and up a month to learn from world champions who “now how to lay it down.” Without visiting your school, it is impossible to tell.
If I said I have a car for sale called a Mandingo (made up car) and said it was for sale new at $5,000, what would you think? You would probably think it’s a little piece of junk that barely gets here to there. If I told you that same Mandingo was $199,000, you would probably thing it’s a luxury car. The bottom line is you can’t tell without seeing it first.
Drop by my website at http://www.defenseusa.net and drop me an email under “contact us” and I will find out more about your area for you and if you are getting ripped off or not as I have thousands of martial arts contacts around the globe due to my past tournament travels and fighting.
Good Luck and God Bless!

It depends who is teaching you and if they are properly qualified. You get a lot of people opening schools and they don’t have a proper knowledge or understanding of Taekwondo. I have studied it for 4 years (going for my Black Belt soon) and i think the price is about right.
