The price is more than double and I'm thinking for half the price I might go to a local school that Dan Inosanto teaches at for Kung Fu and JKD, and/or a Yuang Tai Chi school for Tai Chi.
I'd hate to get into any school that has some fundemental issues that would concern me (at soem future point) in the approach to teaching - such as nonsense about contracts and high prices. It would feel like I'm always looking over my shoulder waiting for teh other shoe to hit (sales pitch). I'm thinking just the idea of the double price is enough of a message. let alone the history of a convict as Grand Master. . . but I do like the local instructor so far. . .thoughts?
