It's accomplished what I wanted it to. I've even thought of raising it to an even $200.
For me, it keeps the irresponsible thug types out. It's the first back-stop by which I can screen people. When it comes to FMA, I don't teach knife and so forth to regular civilians, and I don't like working with people who don't want to train seriously. I really try to give students the very best I have, and I don't like to see people spend their money for private lessons and just go through the same material they did the last time. Higher prices inspire them to go home and work on things before they come back. The end result is that I get more dependable students with a stronger work ethic and a sense of value. That is an all-around win.
