A Revisit to USSD

[Monadnock]

Have you ever stepped in to a ussd?

Would you recommend I do? I've peered through the window and that was enough.

Looks like a good kids program....not a martial arts program, but some kind of activity for kids.

Once I heard about the $15,000 price tag there was nothing Sensei Scott could say to talk me into joining.

No one is busting fraud. It's only fraud if you don't get anything out of what you pay, and with their college you do get to go to classes with the Masters that are in charge of your particular territory. No fraud here...

After hearing all of this I'm glad I didn't join ussd's instructor's academy.

You dont know how much time and money and headaches you saved yourself from.

Out of curiosity does anyone know how much ussd's black belt tests are these days?

Everyone is going to love this ... more to bash ... $500

 

[Mariachi Joe]

$500 is still a lot more than I think they should charge but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it would be closer to a grand.

 

[Mariachi Joe]

By comparison how much are black belt test at epak, Villaris, or other places?

Those not spotting the red flags here almost deserve getting ripped off. :lfao:

BB tests are frequently about $30 or free here. Schools with hand written diplomas from Japan or similar extra costs included can be $100.

I actually paid it, but think it is rediculous ... who's the fool? My first black belt test was $100. Of course that was with FVSSD back in 1987.

I just had a black belt test, and promoted 2 people to black belt. Their fee? Pizza and beer for the 9 black belts on the testing board.
They paid their monthly fees, and gave me 5 years of loyalty and hard work.

As it should be. Congrats to your new blacks, Mr. Bishop.

FVSSD charges $250 now. USSD does charge $1000 is it's a China Trip or if they get the Monks to come out here. They like to double the price of test fees.

Sounds like I'd have to take out a personal loan just to test.

Be careful, they hit me with a warning for my previous comment ... so, no comment

 

[Mariachi Joe]

Just so we can compare what do other places charge for their black belt test?

It tells you what kind of organization you are in though....

 

[Blindside]

The grand total income from all black belt testing done at our school in the last thirty years is: 0.0 USD. If you double that figure you will get the grand total income from all underbelt testing in the past 30 years.

Belt testing fees are often a scam guys. Sorry.
