Re: Differences in Europe?

There are wide differences across Europe too, in both warm up and cost. In Britain alone I have paid between £1 (1.5E) and £10 for a class, and there is one £20 one I hear. The professional dojos tend to charge more, -which is fair enough as the teacher is trying to earn a living. There aren't very many of these in most of Europe however (e.g. 3 in Britain, 1 in Ireland). Government funding may also be an issue, I believe the dojos in France are subsidised (info please)? Is the public sector involved Belgium?

Warm ups depend on the teacher more than the country I would think.
