Most schools want to put you on contract to pay monthly as that is how their bills like rent and electricity work out too. So, no matter if you don’t show up, you still owe the monthly rate. These open classes allow a school to build up large classes of students.  So, in effect you only get a black belt instructor or the master’s time for just a few minutes to check on your progress or to teach you since they must move on to the next student. In addition, they charge high fees for testing, equipment, and uniforms because of their retail store space overhead costs.

At Kuk Sool Won of Katy, we always offered smaller class sizes in the open classes.  The benefit is more personal training and attention to your progress with the master. Private classes for you and your family are also available with the master.  Due to COVID, we had to go to private classes only. With private only, flexibility of appointments is available to meet both your scheduling needs and ours. In addition, private classes are not monthly based, only use the hours as you wish. We also keep the cost of belt testing fee low along with discounts on equipment and uniforms to help.

Private lesson class price is for any single individual or a family up to 4 persons.  Class size can not exceed 4 persons during any training session.

Payment is by the honor system. You may use your hours as needed and when you use up the prepaid hours, then just prepay for more training. It is recommended that you train 8 hours a month for best results. However, you also have total flexibility. So, if you need to take a break or go on vacation, just start back up when you return and continue training on your remaining hours. We want you to be on a regular schedule that you and the instructor have agreed on which includes either one 2-hour class or two 1-hour classes a week for the best progress in your training. However, we understand life gets in the way of your training at times. Remember, you must notify your instructor if you can’t attend or will be running late. If you do this, then you can reschedule the class without losing it. When not attending a class, it is preferred to give at least 24 hour notice.

We have implemented an attendance system so if your schedule becomes temporarily irregular during the month, you can see when you have completed your 8 hours of training.
