Our Class Tuition

We have a competitive tuition with many great plans to choose from. We offer a family, military and a first responder discount. We also have special advanced programs to enroll in. The Level One Leadership (for beginners, basic level), Level Two Leadership Program (for beginners, intermediate level), Ultimate Leadership (for eligible students, advanced level), Black Belt Club (included in the Ultimate Leadsership program), and Instructor Program are upgrades to the regular programs and have unlimited training per week, with many other great benefits in including free belt testing. At our Dojo, you get a high level of instruction from a certified and highly experienced instructor. You get an expert level of training that is second to none. This is well worth the tuition you pay for. If you’re shopping around for a Dojo to join, don’t let the tuition rates make your decision. Lower tuition rates often reflect lesser instructor experience and skill and most likely a lesser quality of training. In the end, you get what you pay for. Try us for free and with no obligation or commitment. There’s no high-pressure sales, ever. The training sells itself. We hope you will come in for a free week and try it before deciding. We don’t want the tuition rates to be the deciding factor; we want the Instruction, experience and training to do that. Just let us know when you want to come in. If you’re on a budget, we’ll be happy to work with you and give you our best rate. Please call 919-753-7964 to schedule your free week.
