How much is too much to pay for training

I've been training in for about 8 months now and feel like I am paying alot for it, about 2 bills a month...I am just curious to see if that is the norm

American Top Team down here charges 130 per month. Eddie Bravo charges around 100 a month for his classes. You better be training with some studs for 200 a month.

I would leave a place if they told me to pay more than I had been. $200 is a lot to pay for training, the most I ever paid was $160/month.

if your instructor is Rickson himself, then OK. otherwise, no.
