Where I am from there is absolutely little to know places to train. I currently pay $50 a month basically to roll with people with little to know instruction. There is a RGDA school which is the only other place and its $250 a month. Is that comparable to most places or is that a monopolistic price? Also what would be better a year of training for $50 a month reading books and learning on your own or 3 months at the RGDA school? I don't know how anyone affords $250 a month for bjj classes.

Your imput is appreciated

Thanks,
Carrick

At $250 a month, unless its the Ribeiros, Garcia, Roger or Jacare themselves, its a blatant rip off IMHO.

Thats $100 more than I pay and I train with a friggin legend. Youre getting ripped off! The only way I would pay that much is if I was training with Marcelo.

What area do you live in? Who is the instructor? 250 is pretty steep.

what is RGDA?

and no, 250 a month unless being instructed by someone of world championship level is a fkin ripoff man

RGDA is Royler Gracie/ David Adviv

it depends on where you are, where the gym in located in the city (i.e if it's in manhattan then ofcourse it will be expensive) who the coach is.

I guess its official. Unless its Royler's school, it is a jib.
