Out of curiosity, how many of you sell equipment out of the dojo, and how many send students to supply stores?

my instructor has a pile of equipment, mostly donated stuff kids have grown out of, that he lets people use when they start sparring. That way, they can find out if sparring is something they want to be doing before spending lots of cash on equipment.

I sell equipment, I do not have a large inventory. When someone wants something, they place an order, pre-pay and I USUALLY have it in 48 hours for them.

You already have a pair of pretty sticks. Nice and solid and very dark, so they won't see them coming.

These are the only thing you and the potential student have in common.

They don't care about your health and it doesn't rain in your studio.

I have found people ask for price simply because they don't know what to ask. Most don't even know what kenpo is...they just know it is some for of karate.

Price is what you "think" you are worth. If you feel you rate $85 per month, well sure go ahead and charge it, but you better darn well provide the most superior service, above all else or you'll find yourself in the unemployment line.:asian:

Do Bosnian women have mustaches?

For the most part, yes!

But these women can be useful to know as they can kick start jumbo jets, and powerlift tractors.

For the past 20 years seems to have become stable for the industry...... monthly fees ranging from $ 50.00 to $100.00 is common....... with $ about $85.00 being average. That's a long time to remain constant in a specific range.

Privates seem to be from $15.00 to $100.00 per hour with $30.00 to $50.00 being common place.

Have we bottomed out in our industry....?

As I am fond of saying. People should be careful not "To Kill The Golden Goose."

I think it is a good thing because it forces people to adjust their prices.

my instructor charges $50 for a private lesson with a black belt, and $35 for a private lesson with a brown belt.

Maybe I'm not doing things correctly, but I tend to charge more to people that have not been with me as long instead of the people that have been with me for years....Just my opinion.
