Getting What YOU Pay For

It is very interesting how Martial Arts schools will promise that students will build confidence, self esteem, focus, self control, discipline, respect for self and others, healthy habits, physical fitness, perseverance, and provide positive role models all for the low price of $60 to $80 per month. As an added bonus, they will provide a state of the art facility that is clean, well equipped, insured, and fully staffed with professionals.
Let's be real! It takes a great deal of resources to PROPERLY provide all the above benefits and services. These types of schools know this as they scrape by each month not delivering on all these promises. They have to try to make up the difference with larger numbers of students which compounds their problems. By having a lower tuition, the school will normally attract a lower level of clients which will ultimately turn off the higher quality clients. It becomes a downward spiral and keeps the schools down. Most owners spend their time trying to figure out how to stay open and have to keep putting in their own money from their day jobs. How long can you expect them to last under these conditions? So what do these schools do to survive? They implement hidden fees such as belt test fees to try and make up the difference. Since most of them do not even use a service agreement, they never formally inform you about these fees until your child is "ready" to move up to the next level. They also don't tell you that these fees go up progressively as the student "progresses". Then YOU have the question in your mind about whether your child really deserves to advance or does the school have to raise money to pay the rent. You do not want to be in the position of having to question the integrity of the staff and instructors.
Do NOT fool yourself! You will get what you pay for. A school CANNOT be the BEST and the CHEAPEST for long.
At American Kempo Karate Academy, we DELIVER on our promises and we do NOT deceive the public with hidden fees. All belt promotions are included in our tuition and you will NEVER have to question if your child deserves to advance or not. NEVER go to a Martial Arts school just because it is the cheapest. It is a HUGE mistake and YOU WILL get what you pay for! For more information, visit http://www.akka.com/
