private lesson | Thread profile

what do people think off the amount that is charged for private lessons.i think the price some instructors are charging is very extreme.in the uk they are charging anywhere from 50 pounds upwards.what are the prices like in other countries.

There's plenty that don't charge any where near that, so not sure who the "they" is. Who are you talking about? and have you had a lesson with them to see if it is worth it ? if not have you asked anyone that has had experience with them their opinion in regards to value for money?

It seems like a touchy subject, but in my personal experience when i considered Filipino martial arts in Edmonton, it is between $60 and up for an hour. I think it depends on the instructor. The highest priced was this instructor certified under JKD Kali. He makes a career out of martial arts so i guess he charges accordingly.

if the lessons are too expensive then only people that are well off can afford to get the best training.also are charging 60 pounds for fourty minutes training what can you learn in fourty miutes.im not talking about individual instructors it seems quite alot off them are over charging

I don't think $100 per hour for private instruction is unusual...whether it's worthwhile or not is up to you! It's different if you only need a little fine-tuning as opposed to needing to learn the fundamentals.

i think 100 pounds for training is a rip off.i ask why noone ever questions it

CAVEAT EMPTOR ~ Buyer beware! Perceived value is also left to the discretion of the buyer. I have seen people charge as much as $200.00 an hour, and people chomp at the bit: they figure 200 an hour he must be great. I have also seen others who are dang good teachers charge $20.00 an hour and get absolutely nobody...some people figure, hmmm only 20 an hour he must suck. Personally I have two ...

40 pounds for 1.5 is very fair.its in the reach off most people so godd on you

Sometimes you get what you pay for, and other times not. When it comes to gear and weapons, I always tell my students to buy the best they can afford. I always say that, when you are in a real fight, you will not regret one dollar you have spent on the gear that is with you or one hour that you have spent training for combat. So, on one side of the argument, how much is your life worth? Mine...

I charge $30 an hour for privates. The reason I do it is because I have a day job that keeps me away from my family, and I run my regular classes for 4 hours 2 soon to be 3 nights a week which also keeps me away from them, so if I'm gonna' be away from them for another hour, I'd better make it worth it. My regular class price is a way better value because quite frankly I'd rather teach a class...
