A fair price for BJJ?

[gl8cier]

Hi all,
I just joined and its great ppl can join together and share their knowledge like this

I am hoping you could possibly help me out with a bit of a problem I'm having. I was just wondering how much [in your opinion] would you pay for BJJ lessons?. Its just because I'm ina situation where I can learn Judo for like $1US a week, but its kinda like a youth training centre [some sorta youth grop thing].

But on the otherhand I want to learn BJJ as it seems to be the kickass art. I live in Australia and in my area, there is, the only Gracie BJJ club in the whole of Aust. The lessons last for 2 hours each and here is the offer I'm most likely to take up.

- 25 Lesson Membership -

The 25 Lesson Membership is designed for the infrequent student. Theis membership allows the student to use his or her 25 lessons as they choose over any period of time. This membership would prove unecomonical for those training more than 1 time per week.
- Cost: $200 about $100US
- Direct Debit: $50 or $25US per month x 4 months

includes
(Bonuses - free Academy membership, AFBJJ membership, gradings, belts and back patch)

I've been hearing on the board that BJJ is quite expensive do you think this is a fair price to pay?. BTW the instructors name is Peter De Been if that rings a bell.

I would be very greatful for you help, Thanks

Dood, that's a REALLYREALLY good deal. The two schools in my area charge $80 a month which is about $10 a class.
