While the academy's lineage and history are impressive, the available information does not clearly specify the cost structure or what is included in the basic membership. For someone considering enrolling, it would be helpful to know if the price covers all weapons or if additional fees apply. Without clear pricing details, it is difficult to gauge the true value proposition compared to other local martial arts schools.
