Ronin is like $160-180 for unlimited, included muay thai and mma
really, no offense to any other schools in the city, but i luagh when i hear guys dont go to renzos and go train at some other school in the city cuz its like 20-50 bucks cheaper a month....i mean comon, renzos has like 20+ blackbelts, and so many good guys...
sometimes its better to dish out an extra 10 dollars to get filet minon then be cheap and get a mcdonalds hamburger...lol thats my analogy
I do not see the point of paying so much more to train at Renzo Gracie's school when he does not teach the classes and is rarely in the NYC dojo. The late night open mats are sweet though.
I disagree. I did a ton of research before choosing a jiu-jistsu academy, and contrary to what you think, there are plenty of valid reasons (besides tuition prices) to choose Ronin, Alliance, or the Blitz Center over Renzo's.
For example, if you're more interested in no-gi and MMA, Ronin could be a better choice for you. And if you like smaller class sizes, Alliance and the Blitz Center might be a better fit than Renzo's.
Certainly, Renzo's has a lot to offer, but so do a lot of other schools in the area.
Well, have you ever even stepped foot into Ronin, the Blitz Center, or Alliance?
I havent, so fair enough, but its still my opinion...., but i mean what blackbelts and stuff has ronin, blitz or alliance produced? and whats up with alliance anyway? theres alliance nyc and studiox now? fabio clemente split up from the other black belt teacher?
One of Fabios brown belts left in a real jackass way, taking fabios new gym and then suing fabio and marcelo garcia to scare them out of the city so he didn't have to compete with them. It wasn't a split between two teachers...
But for the main point, Renzo's school has a weird atmosphere to me compared to the other schools I am used. It is just so ginormous that I can see how someone can get lost in there. However, by the amount of skilled people they have produced from scratch it is obviously a great school. I just prefer having a class sizes around 15 students with 2 blackblets teaching.
