I got my training for free living at the school while away from my home but i was responsible for cleaning, chores, mantinenace and teaching the kids classes in return. My teacher is Chinese so he said usually all schools back in the day were like this.

However this is america and rent and ulities are so expensive so some fees must be charged, but too many people trr to get rich by teaching and this lead sto watered down training, kids under 18 or even 14 obtaining black belts and crappy shopping mall schoolss truing out bad product.

I charge only 60.00 a month for classes and I go month to month no contracts.... I do charge 20.00 for the uniform which is bacically a t shirt with our log on it, just to look professional and I do just fine.
