Hello, All martial arts schools is a business first. The dues helps pay for the cost of running the shools.
(each school can set their own policies for Black belts dues)
Some schools are non-profit and /or have little or NO rent. They can be more flexible for dues...
Just because you became a BLack Belt...you learning stops..therefore NO more dues? ....NOT true...Your learning will reach another level that is ALL.
Each Owner/Teacher...it will be always be their choice of collecting dues from ALL students reguardless of ranking.
For us..our Instructor..is different from other Instructors in the same system...he give my family a very low rate....( I give back by assisting his classes/at times running the school when he is unable to attend)
We still pay dues...lower rates/ those who stay still pay the same rates when they started...new students start at higher rates...but never goes up...Our Instrutor does not make dues a big issue....teaching is much more important!
Aloha, ( dues and black belt? ..Teachers choice)
