CLASS DUES
No student in Pai Lum Tao "buys" their martial arts. Rather prospective students are accepted into the school and family. These students must comply with the protocol and goals of Rising Dragon Martial Arts which include honor, loyalty, and courage, discipline, respect, and love.
Students exhibiting behavior in or outside the class violating such standards may be dismissed from Rising Dragon Martial Arts.
Accepted students pay monthly dues. No contracts are required, but are available.
The monthly fee rate is as follows:

Cross training fees
"All students can learn a second art for only
$20.00 more per month. For example a Kung Fu
student could also train in Tai Chi for only
$20.00 more per month or a Kenpo practitioner
could add on the curriculum and training of the
San Shou - Kickboxing Class for $20.00. So a
student could train in two full arts and get
certification in both at a rate as low as $80.00
a month or possibly less. If a student should
be so adventurous (and have enough time in life)
they can train in 3 arts for another $15.00 a
month.
