The worst thing you could do to your wallet is enroll your child here. It costs almost $5000 for a three year program which makes you sign an unbreakable contract. If $5000 isn't scary enough, they tell you that you're going to be using weapons. However, they don't tell you that all the weapons (which you HAVE to buy) cost $200+. Each upgrade to a new belt costs $50-$55 (there are 12 upgrades to get your black belt), which they don't tell you about. Their mandatory sparring gear costs over $200 (you're not allowed to buy it anywhere else). You'll find yourself paying for something new every month. I got stuck in a three year contract; worst mistake.
