Still think you are paying too much for your ‘’Kicking and Punching’’ class??
Would a doctor, lawyer, plumber, carpenter, dentist, chef, mechanic, dressmaker, shop owner, or psychologist offer all of the above for free in addition to their regular service that they charge for?
The bottom line is the person running the gym or giving off martial arts classes has worked too hard to reach that place and the coaches are playing so many roles in your life that you cannot imagine. All the good services come with a price and teaching martial arts requires a great deal of expertise. So you got to pay for the usage of that expertise. The facility or gym where the martial arts classes are being offered isn’t wasn’t build up by itself. Money is required to pay its rent, buy and maintain equipment and pay the people working in the gym. Being friends with the owner or staff in the gym is no excuse for not to pay the fees. Business is business and you have to pay for the services you are using. So please if you are using any gym or taking martial art classes, remember to pay your fees on time.
