Wow. In that case, I commend you for your organizational skills: your "Kenpo receipts" folder must be HUGE!

But the only thing is If everyone seen scrawny 'ole me they would laugh at me. After the incident I had in the weight room a couple of weeks ago my training partner told me I scared the other guy off. I told buddy I don't really think anyone is scared of me. Then we went onto the next weight lifting exercise.

First of all, kenpo and one's quest for kenpo proficiency, can not and should not be measured in dollars and cents.

Ok! I will go for it....What incident in the weight room???
Originally posted by SingingTiger
How much have you spent on Kenpo training, and what level has that amount of money gotten you to? I think I've spent about $1800 so far; I'm a blue belt now, and at the rate I've progressed and expect to progress, I'm guessing a black belt will end up costing around 10 grand. I was just wondering how widely the numbers vary.

I also pay about $1,000 per six months in SoCal, with the same setup, one private a week + unlimited group. Personally I do a lot of at home practise, especially on forms and techniques, I would expect/hope to make Green after about 1 year training, not sure how much longer (and hence cost) for 1st Dan, maybe another 2 years??

I dont believe in keeping track of the amount one spends on a true passion.

I could put up with a lot of whining for that kind of money
with 150 students even blowing $10,000 on overhead I would still make almost $14000 dollars a month gross, and that amounts to almost $150,000 a year.
Not bad at all, and we cal also ad that most people have other hobbies that they spend money on like music cost of systems, CDs, private lessons so on and so forth.Originally posted by SingingTiger
I appreciate all the responses I've seen regarding cost in various other parts of the country. Based on what I've seen, I think that what I'm currently paying is definitely high, but when corrected for location and school size, I don't think it's unreasonably high.
