Well now,
I trade labour with my San Soo shifu hour for hour (he chages €7.50/hr, €100/year for membership etc normally. Gradings are free, but are few and far between- still white belt)
I trade veg and eggs with my TKD trainer (normally €5/hour, €20/year membership- optional, €20/grading- membership required)
I do administration for judo club so they pay my membership(€60/year) and matt fees (€2.50/hour). Gradings are €20
I am lucky that most of the MA trainers in my area are commited to thier comumity and art so put thier students before profit
**** ME! I have just calculated that I would have to pay €1280 ($1820) per year if I had to pay.
cant remember cost of gear, but its not cheapLast edited by doofaloofa; 6/16/2011 1:59pm at .

$350 a month pays for my daughter, my wife, and myself. Unlimited classes and includes kettlebells, no gi, & kickboxing if I wanted. $4,200 a year. Plus gear. Plus tourneys. Probably around $5K a year. Not counting gas to get there.
I have one son that is approaching two years old & another boy on the way.

$50/month at my Judo/grappling school. I figure $50-$100 for the odd gi or two. So, about $700 give or take.
I don't pay for Silat & we wear street clothes usually."Judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself" - Jigoro Kano (1889)
***Was this quote "taken out of context"?***
"The judoist has no time to allow himself a margin for error, especially in a situation upon which his or another person's very life depends...."
~ The Secret of Judo (Jiichi Watanabe & Lindy Avakian), p.19
