Does your gym charge you for ProMotion?!

Our gym has initiated a fee for belt promotion exams (which I am opposed to) however, the fee does include an official certificate and the exams are in many ways like getting a private instruction from several high level black belts. As one of the examining instructors (I judge the take down techniques), I will often spend as much as a half hour or more critiquing and helping the student modify the techniques being tested. Other examiners do the same with other parts of the curriculum. The entire promotion exam takes about 4 hours, and the examining instructors are paid for their time out of the promotion fees.
The promotion ceremonies are usually done at a clinic with a BJJ world champion, although if a student can't make the clinic, then the belts and certificates are awarded during classes.

Its reasonable. I dont know why the fees are só high here because, What I know, you have tô do some positions they tell you tô do and then you receive the belt. I dont know if high level black belts come to help.

Meus dojos, tanto de judô como de bjj, nunca cobraram para avaliação de faixas. Aliás, nunca ouvi falar disso. No judô, você deve estar filiado para ser graduado num faixa preta. Quem diz que você está apto para graduar, na minha opinião, é o seu Sēnsei/mestre, nunca um curso online. Isso só distancia a nossa relação com nosso mestre/sēnsei, uma vez que ele passa a ter papel secundário na seu caminho nas artes marciais.

Eu achei muito caro é muito nada a ver! Td bem cobrar o valor da faixa nova e a graduação, por ser um dia de festa etc. mas achei abusivo o preço. Não sei se isso é uma prática comum no jiu agora, mas quando eu treinava em outra equipe não tinha isso

Hey guys!!!
I want tô know if your gym does charge you for belt changes. Im shocked that the local Im training charges promotion. They oblige you to take a virtual course which costs 200 reais and the graduation which is 350 reais. You have to Pay almost 600 reais (which is almost 100 dollars) tô be elegible tô change belt. I think this is insane!!!!
