Seriously Excissive force, you charge at least $80 an hour? you must be the biggest douche on the planet since you don't have the credentials to be doing this. A 2nd degree blackbelt in TKD? I don't care if you're an ITF TKD 2nd degree bb..you're in Missouri where $80 is close to your rent("jk"...a little). At Master Toddy's Gym in VEgas they charge from $80+ an hour..Number 1! This is in Las Vegas. Number 2...this is from an ESTABLISHED TRAINER AND GYM THAT HAS PRODUCED WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!! In other words you are without doubt the biggest douche in the universe, enough said. You're either lying about doing so or are stealing $ from people that could be spending there $ on a more worthy instructor(s). I guess as long as you can sleep at night, that's all that counts, ay?

I speak a bit from experience...seeing as I'm a certified instructor under Master Toddy, Chan, and Lookchang. I'm also a Nidan(2nd dan) in Shito Ryu, Kempo, and hold other bb rankings. I wouldn't feel comfortable charging a student $80+ an hour and I"m in the seattle area. ...have fun being a douche.

p.s. There are more experienced instuctors than me on here that wouldn't be charging $80+ an hour on here.

Easy on the douchebag remarks... I think my eyes are bleeding.

If people are willing to pay him that kind of money then what is wrong with it? heh. It's not like people HAVE to learn from him or learn at all! He isn't charging a ton of money for a necessity.... if people want to pay tons of money to someone for whatever reason that is their business. The problem with really qualified people not making that kind of money themselves is simply that they don't have the gonads,ambition and drive to charge that amount ( I know because I use to charge the lowest rate in my city for classes and no one ever appreciated it). Their fault, not the guy that does charge that amount.
