    Default Austin, Texas

    I'm looking to see if there is any updated information on schools in Austin. I've seen the pages posted on winjutsu.com. I was wondering if there were anymore sources.

    I've actually been to both of those schools. The first one I attended for a while and left after concerns regarding legitimacy and the latter had a lengthy application process and more importantly...was VERY expensive.

    Anything worth it is not going to be cheap and easy... no pun.

    what do you call expensive?
    'Saru mo ki kara ochiru.' is a Japanese kotowaza or proverb. 'Even monkeys fall from trees.' or essentially 'Nobody's perfect'

    I don't want to say my numbers are totally accurate because it has been a few years (almost 4) since I went through the application process, but at the time (while I was in college) I think the number was something around $130/mo on a one year contract done vie electronic funds transfer. That might not seem like a lot of money, but when I was in college, it was a huge chunk of change. I understand quality is important, which is why I was also concerned with the size of the class (26 on that particular day) v. the number of days I would allowed to attend class. As a comparison, I box at a very well known school here locally for $60/mo with unlimited access during gym hours and I can get 4 hours a day on the weekends for $65 at a local BJJ school. I'd prefer to leave the combat sports behind and go back to the art, but the cost:access ratio doesn't add up. I'd even travel were there to be some consideration for the drive. I'm actually from Houston and grew up not too far from Webster where I see there is a Genbukan dojo.

    The above was not meant to be offensive to anyone and I hope it doesn't come off that way. I just want to train but I want my money to be spent getting what I pay for and not paying for what they're going to get.
