What malarkey? Tiered pricing = run the **** away. They may provide good training, but tiered pricing is one of the first signs of a McDojo.

Unless, of course, you just WANT to shell out $150 a month for three classes a week.

What's tiered pricing? And by the way, how much SHOULD it cost? Right now, they have it as 99 dollars a month, two classes a week. And also, I live in NYC...so prices may be higher.

Looking at that website, sarcasm and "malarkey" are entirely appropriate.

Eh, so what would be a good dojo?

What are you interested in training? Punching, kicking, standup grappling, ground grappling, etc.?

There are a lot of guys from NYC that post in here, and I'm sure they would all recommend a school if you gave them an idea of the style you were interested in.
You might want to post a thread in newbietown with a title like "Looking for (insert martial art here) in NYC".
