Monthly Group Karate Classes
At Jin Sei Ryu Chicago, we are proud to offer both Tiered and Household pricing in order to maximize affordability for students and families. Both are part of our commitment to equity We believe that everyone should be able to learn karate, regardless of their (or their family’s) financial means. We are proud of the quality of instruction we deliver, and trust our members to choose the tier that makes sense for their circumstances. Learn more about both tiered and household pricing below.
Tiered Structure
We offer 3 tiers of payment: Reduced, Standard, and Supporter. We offer this PDF document as guidance for those who aren’t sure what to choose, but it’s ultimately up to each individual. We trust individuals and families to choose the tier that is best for them. Families and individuals who need to pay less than our Reduced Rate should request a link to our online financial aid form after their free trial class. Priority consideration for financial aid includes those historically excluded from participation because of race, gender identity, immigration status, disability, or socio-economic status.
Household Pricing
The family that trains together, smiles together. Families with multiple household members may take advantage of our household pricing. Choose your tier for the first training member (Reduced, Standard, or Supporter). We know that families and households come in all sorts of configurations, and we want to support the whole household in feeling safer, stronger, and more self-confident! We define a “household” as a group of people who live together and pool their financial resources. To qualify for household pricing, at least one household member must be a dependent.
Prices are a flat rate per month for as many group classes that a student is eligible for. For Teen & Adult, Youth, and Juniors programs, beginners can take up to 3 classes per week. As you advance in Teen & Adult and Youth programs, there may be classes up to 5 days/week.
| Tier | 1 student | Household pricing: 2 students | Household Pricing: 3+ students |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $120 | $200 | $250 |
| Supporter | $150 | $250 | $325 |
| Reduced | $95 | $150 | $200 |
* For the Peewees program (typically ages 4-5), there are only 2 classes per week. Therefore we have an optional Peewees program Extra-Reduced Rate of $65/month, or $35 as a household pricing add-on (no financial aid form required) to allow this program to be more financially accessible. We trust families to choose the highest tier that is affordable for them.
Beginners’ Series
Our beginners’ series for teens & adults is 8 – 10 weeks, and includes a free uniform. We offer the same tiered structure as above, but students pay for the entire series at once.
| Tier | 1 student | Household pricing: 2 students | Household Pricing: 3+ students |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $240 | $360 | $480 |
| Supporter | $360 | $540 | $720 |
| *Reduced | $140 | $210 | $280 |
