For those of you with kids in Tae Kwon Do or other martial arts, or those who do it themselves, I have a question.
Does your school require you to sign a long-term contract, or can you pay month by month?
DD13 tests for black belt tomorrow. We talked to the Master about what happens after this if she wants to go for second degree black belt. The only option they offer is to sign a multiyear contract for about $5K. There is no way to just pay by the month.
DD starts high school next year, so I'm not inclined in the least to get into another expensive contract. She's been doing this for years and, while she loves it, might want to try track and field or swimming at school, and there's no way she could do both as she's also a serious musician. She would like to continue for now, but she also doesn't know if she'll want to do it come high school.
There are many things we like about the TKD school, but the high pressure sales isn't one of them. So, I was wondering, is a long term contract the norm or do other places do monthly payment. I'll call around local schools, but was curious what you all would say.
