At Crino’s Martial Arts we do not believe in annual advance karate fees for training. In today’s economic climate, it is unconscionable to ask for a year’s payment in advance. We also, do not pressure our families to complete their contractual obligation if they are experiencing difficult financial times. When you become a member of Crino’s Martial Arts you are joining our martial arts / karate family. You are not just another number in a database.
This is not considered the best business practice, but as a parent, I know that your first responsibility is to your family and no one should be forced to put their family on the back burner. Some schools put their financial gain as their number one priority. There is no justification for this kind of practice. This is unacceptable and against our principles, values, and against all that stands for the purity and true philosophy of the martial arts.
