I am going to enroll in the Renzo Gracie Academy... The price is 210 a month!!! Is this too much for a school?

Question

I don'tknow if this is a good school, can any1 with experience tell me if this school is worth that much money?

BTW...Itz located in Manhatten

Answer 1

It is an excellent school. And is world reknown. However I strongly advise that train BJJ at another school. And then when you are a purple or brown belt transfer to Renzo's place. That is the most economical way to approach this.

Hope this helps. thanks

Answer 2

If you do, you're going to want to show up every freaking day and get your moneys worth

Answer 3

They charge that a soca bjj near me to. They seem to think when they get those big names they can get away with it. I mean Renzo Gracie is a very big name but thats about 110 more then i spend for 7 days a week open to me. I'm going to a place that charges 150 as soon as possible and i thought that was expensive even my kick boxing/mma 6 days a week hard core place is only 125

Answer 4

Renzo Gracies school is great. I heard in an interview that he has an AMAZING amount of black belts. Roger Gracie prepares for the worlds there. If you re serious about going far in BJJ competition, you should go where the champions are. If you just want to do it as a hobby then go to a cheaper academy. Renzo Gracie's academy is full of top competitiors.

Answer 5

yeah it is a lot

but the gracies are THE BEST at BJJ so your getting your moneys worth

if you just want to get into a martial art it may too much

if youre looking for the best martail arts traiing thats the way to go

Answer 6

of course its alot...they dont have real jobs...they have to make a living off of bjj.

our local academy is like 60 a month for kempo jujutsu, mma. all you want to train.

Answer 7

Wow, that's a lot. Sounds like it's just about making money not teaching martial arts. Even though the price is way too high, it's up to you whether you want to take it or not. Brazilian Jujitsu is a pretty good martial art, but just because it's so popular doesn't make it the best grappling art. Maharlika Kuntaw is a good art with grappling just as good as BJJ. Bujinkan Ninjutsu has grappling that far surpasses BJJ. Bujinkan Ninjutsu grappling makes BJJ look like Tai Chi. I'm not exaggerating, I have taken both arts and I love them both but Bujinkan is just the best.

Answer 8

LOL...It's in Manhattan, I don't expect the rental prices are cheap.
